Missing codec [WMP]

Hi
When attempting to use Windows Media Player I got this error.

Windows Media Player Error Message Help

You've encountered error message C00D10D1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.


Codec is missing
Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or cannot play either the audio or video portion of the file) because the Microsoft PCM Format (1) codec is not installed on your computer.

The missing codec might be available to download from the Internet. To search for the Microsoft PCM Format (1) codec, go to the WMPlugins.com Web site.

The codec was not there.
Do you know where I can get the missing codec (Microsoft PCM Format (1) codec)
Thanks
Lewis

See especially the link at the bottom of the page to restore default codecs.
I also find these sites helpful in providing codecs for download
