No Audio with MPEG

I recently bought a laptop with XP home version on it. I network at home with
other desktop machines which XP Pro. I have mpeg files that play fine on the
XP Pro Machine. When i play mp3 files on the XP home machine the audio works
fine. When I watch streaming video from a website, the audio works fine. The
problem only occurs when I play mpeg files.

Windows XP doesn't include an MPEG decoder. You need to install either a
full package like PowerDVD or WinDVD or purchase an MPEG decoder.

Try VLC or SMplayer. Both playback MPEGS and other formats. very versatile players.
