WMP and *.avi - SV650.org

Computer tech help pleeeeeeeze.

Why won't my Windows Media Player play *.avi files. Or rather it does in sound only. No pictures...? Why is that? Can I fix it?

Cheers all.

All avi files wont play? I'm guessing only some, probably due to some codecs you're missing.

Download this: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

It'll tell you what codecs you need to play the file, then you can go google for them.

get the k-lite codec pack or nemo codec pack, then you can play pretty much anything in wmp.

Download this mate... All the codec's you'll need

It does say Vista codecs, but it works on NT/XP/Vista...

I'm using it and it does pretty much everything
