Im new to this. Ive got windows xp and a cable connection. When I play back films on media player 9 I get a jumpy image (with sound). Ive tryed downloading new codecs including dvix but may of downloaded the wrong ones. Can anyone help please.

With Win XP you should be using Media Player 10 by now. Go to windows update site & update all files. If you didn't get Windows Media player 10 for some strange reason, open Media player click on help, upgrade media player. If you still have problems playing movies click on forum search, codecs for the latest. Also DivX Player is a good alternative.

Maybe it needs Divx?

DivX works for me when Media Player won't.

Well Divx is a codec to play Avi. files.

You also might need some codecs, so check this link also.

Have a good afternoon

DivX provides a Player as well as codecs which is a back up to the Windows Media Player. AVIPREVIEW is another alternative. This can be found by adding www. to the beginning of avipreview and dot com at the end.
