Default AVI files

Hi there

I'm new to this, and I don't know how to make the AVI files to play on WMP, I have Windows XP. May somebody help me please?!! Can't play the movies that are AVI.

Might be a codecs issue....
You could try to use a different media player such as the free VLC player with built-in codecs which can play almost all media files without problems. You can downlaod it from here:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
As a side note, to preview files with it you'll have to open the files directly from the Incomplete folder and not via the LW preview function.

You could also download the DivX codec. Your avi files should play fine in WMP if that codec is installed.

Would codec issues be the reason why avi files on my WMP play, but only audio.

Running WMP 10.0

Yes

We often recommend VLC player because it has in-built codecs.
