When I got my new vista computer ..I found the WMP would,nt play any AVI
files :huh:..I had no problem with my old XP computer . I have
downloaded REAL PLAYER to see if that will play them ..but its the same
with that also . So why is it I cant play them back anymore ..have a few
films i would love to be able to view again Crying or Very sad
Anyone know of a fix for this ..its soooooooooooo annoying
grrrrrrrrrrr:mad:

Thanks
Linda

You need the righ Codecs.

Go here 'Free-Codecs.com :: Download Vista Codec Package 4.7.3 : With
Vista Codec Package installed, you won't need to install any other codec
or filter.'
([URL="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/vista_codec_package.htm"]http://www.free-codecs.com/download/vista_codec_package.htm[/URL])

Install and you"ll be fine.

Oh! People will probably point you to here 'Free-Codecs.com : Download
K-Lite Codec Pack 4.2.5 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 4.2.5 STANDARD, K-Lite
Codec Pack 4.2.5 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and
related tools'
([URL="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm"]http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm[/URL])

It works as well, but seems a little more intrusive. Just my opinion
there.

I just use the Vista pack and have no configuting to.

Just like Vista itself.

It just works.

The problem is that you did not use add/remove programs to uninstall it
since if you did the desktop icon would have been deleted along with the
program itself.
You can possible change the file the shortcut icon is pointing to to one
that exists and then delete it.
