Default windows media player help

when I try to download a movie and watch it in windows media player, an error message comes up saying "class not registered."
Is it because its extension is .avi?

You probably need codecs for your WMP. Try the XP codec pack here

There's a link to an alternative player as well

Make VLC your default player. Instructions here

You'll have to open the file outside of LW when you want to play it. For some reason, VLC seems to have trouble launching or previewing within LW if you use Windows.
