if they are avi you are downloading from Kazaa ,most are bad to begin wit h!:)

[CLEARICE01]

hi caperjack.good to here from you yes most are bad but thats not the point here. files that have played in the past will not play now.and that has somthing to do with the win media player not kazaa gold.wich is a pay to use program..........

[CLEARICE01]

i was just going through my registry and i cant find eny mplayer2 files there could this be the reson that i cant play avi files with windows media player 9 and if so how can i replace mplayer2 .exe

[caperjack]

did yo u search the harddrive for it it should be in c:\program files \windows media player .

Have you checked if you have all the codecs required? Maybe you are just losing the codecs. Bare in mind most avi files cannot be played with windows media players unless for example the DIVX or Xvid codec is installed. you can find these in divx.com, http://download.divx.com/divx/DivX511Bundle.exe THis is just the codec, and Xvid in http://files.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-0.9.2.zip

A good page to have a look is http://codecs.necromancers.ru/

Hope this helps

search on Kazaa or whatever for Nimo Codec Pack. Has everything you need, and now comes with a pretty slick install utility too. Beware of viruses on kazaa called this, it is usually 8.0MB or larger, up to about 15MB (last I checked)

[Sardukar]

Oh, and Windows XP and Media Player 9 do have several issues on this, make sure you have the latest version. Try another player as well (can I recommend either Divx player or Winamp 5?) GL

hi sardukar.trying the nemo codecpak was the first thing i tryed and it didnt work.and i already have the divx player and the winamp.its just becum a mission for me to fix the windows media player......
