Please Help ??? Avi Codecs

[Juelz]

Please help as i am trying to download video files from limewire and it keeps telling me thet i do not have the correct codecs (File type avi).
I have searched the internet but nothing seems to work !!!
Can anyone help please ??

Cheers for that but when i click to play the file,windows media player opens and displays "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. One or more codecs required to play the file could not be found."
Im very confused ??

Or if you want to view it on Windows Media Player you can download the DivX codec from this site. www.divx.com You'll want the one in the middle!

The DivX works but tells me that i need to install an audio codec....... Any suggestions ????

Cheers for the help i have downloaded the VCL and the video plays fine but no sound.
I had to reboot windows from the disc last night and have noticed i have no sound on anything do you know how to resolve this problem ???

[wondering why]

Its more than likely a sound card issue, did you have this problem before you rebooted.....

Whenever a PC, for whatever reason, looses it ability to play sound then the problem can be anywhere between very easy or very difficult to put right.

I get the impression that you are a novice when it comes to PCs so you will have to get an experienced person to look at your PC for you.

Because there can be any one of over a hundred reasons why your PC no longer plays sound members of this forum, without a detailed examination of your machine, can only guess at a possible solution.

Good luck

I'm a bit confused how to download just the codec .. I have to confess ... having looked at the site. I imagine you just download the whole package. (or try vlc again as I explained which does not involve a codec problem

When the site loads up you'll see three boxes. The middle one says "DivX Play". That's the one you want to download. Just click on the word Download and follow the instructions from there. It's a free codec.
