avi. file won't play on latest winmedia player 9, just audio no visual

please help/advice

downloaded some files in avi. format, can’t play it on win xp media player with its latest version 9. tried downloading patches for the avi. file from microsoft.com didn’t do the job either...

just wondering where to go from here

Just go to divx.com and download the ad supported codec package and all will work.

thanks for your advice, however i have already done so and it says that another player is needed to play the format FOURCC 'DIV3' and another file MP42

what shall i do next?

i have the same problem u can use VLC player it wil play the video file

I use to have that problem but i think the easiest way is to just get MPC player: Easy to google and then after dlin MPC player u google storm codec from the net which u can eaily google again after dlin those two things MPC player will play most videoformats. MPC player is simple and easy to use, not like other media players , they have many useless tools and things. so i recomend u to get MPC player and the storm codec
