Daniel,
are you sure you're having problems with .mpeg files or mpeg2 files? Both
are normally converted into .vob which is DVD format. None of the Windows
Media Players come with that codec. Did you happen to have PowerDVD
installed on your computer, but forgot to reinstall it when you upgraded?
If you did, then just pop in the disk and install it. You'll have no
further problems. If not, download Media Player Classic. It plays
everything. Your last option is to install an outside codec pack such as
KLite Basic. That will allow WMP to decode mpeg's. This should only be a
last resort, though. Inexperienced users can accidentally change all their
file associations is this is installed incorrectly.

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed answer.
What you write is most interesting. Indeed, before doing the upgrade to Win
7 (just an upgrade, not a full install) I had some DVD player installed on
my PC (Was it PowerDVD ? I just cannot remember). And, strangely enough, I
cannot find any trace of this player since I upgraded. All the programs I
had are still there, except that one, so it seems. How come, I wonder ?
Now, before the upgrade, I could read any video file. I have the feeling I
could read them all in Win Media Player V11, but now I am not sure of
anything. Could this PowerDVD have installed a codec pack in WMP to allow
the playing of Mpeg files ?
Do I understand from your message that WMP 12 cannot read any mpeg file?
coming back to this PowerDVD or similar utility I had before, I just don't
know how to reinstall it, for I have a Dell DVD with all the utilities and
programs that were delivered with the PC, but I have the feeling that it can
be used only reinstall everything.
Thanks in advanc efor your kins help.
best,
Daniel

You should have a few Dell disks. Look for the one marked Applications.
PowerDVD automatically installs the mpeg codec so you can watch DVD's. Pop
it in and see if PowerDVD is listed. My Dell came with PowerDVD, but when I
formatted it I found out Dell never gave me a disk to reinstall it. I went
with the Klite codec pack.

Thank you so much again for your concern, Michael.
No I didn't find in the disks provided by Dell anything that looks like
PowerDVD or similar application.
question : although my WMP 12 cannot playMPEG files, how come it can play
DVDs ?

What happens when you try to play an mpeg file?
Do you get an error message ?
Actually I do not get any error message. WMP 12 just stalls. Nothing
happens.
Thks again for yr kind help.

Daniel Hi
This link is for a codec pack that supports mpeg and has some excellent
reading material on the site. 'Windows 7 Codecs'
(http://www.windows7update.com/Windows7codecs.html) It is by the same
company which makes the vista codec packs. Might be worth a try. If you
do I would suggest to install it with default settings. The download
link is at the bottom of the page.
