Need help with 2 things (1 Viewer)

[IP_freely]

Hey all just need help with 2 things, greatly appreciated if u could help me

1. For some reason i cant watch prison break episodes that i download on my laptop, but i can watch it on my normal computer. Whenever i try to watch it on my laptop using windows media player it tries to download the codec but wont if u understand what i mean. There is also sound, you can hear the people talk but there is no picture.

Do you guys know what kind of codec i need to watch it and where i can go get it and download it myself ?

2. Second question i recently installed a new printer on my computer and everytime it starts up it makes me have to click on to my username, do u guys know of any program that i can use so that i can bypass this logon procedure?

Cheers for the help guys.
