Hiya...

A short one...

Click on the Cole2k Codecs link in my 'sig' below...

Download - Save - and install the version 6.0.9 STANDARD Codecs Pack...
NOT the Advanced...

After doing the install, ShutDown your computer.
Start your computer again and try to 'play' your .avi files........

Betcha it works...
