WMP suddenly stopped playing avi files some time ago. It now gives me a "file may not be supported.... no codec... ect..." Ive gone to web help and installed the codecs it gives me there, Ive downloaded and installed every codec i can find on the internet, Ive used a program to tell me what codec a video needs and if it is installed and i installed that particular codec all with no results. I have no idea what caused this, it played a video one day and the next day it wouldn't. Please help me. -- skyttlez52 |

Downloading lots of codecs is a bad idea: http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#divx You only need ONE codec for any given video file (AVI). What exactly happens when you try to play a sample AVI file? You can click the Web Help button on the error dialog - what codec does it say you need? -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
