yeah... im a retard to all this... im just kinda getting into the whole programing deal... codecs? its like talkin to somone on mars i know..but if you could use the good old fashion computer illiterate language for me.. that'd be great.

all i know is that i cant get the WMP 1.1 or upgrad thing. cause i dont have windows xp somethin 2.

i just wana play avis... WMP came with the machine.. when i got the little orange and white cone lookin thing it just came up a little rectangle like i dunno... 3 by 1 inches wide/tall(respectively). and all the movies i had would not play at all. if im doing something retarded with the VLC *i think thats it* then please help me out if im not too much of a nuisance. or if i can just get something to play avis only or should i get rid of WMP or what? to put it simply.. i have no idea what im doing...

thanks and sorry
