Angry Please help! Can't play AVI movie files
Running OS 9.1, 256 MB RAM, Limewire Pro, Cable, Home.

I'm having no problem downloading full length Mpeg and AVI files however when I try to play the AVI files I get a message saying Quicktime is unable to recognize the file format. When I try to launch the MPEG files I get a message that the MPEG movie could not be opened because a software component is missing. I was under the impression that Quicktime could play both AVI and MPEG's. I downloaded Windows Media Player 7 for Mac and have Quicktime 6 (free version). Still no luck. Is this a plugin or browser problem? I just want to play these simple file formatts.

Any help would be appreciated

Andre
