help (Green flickering screen)
 

hey all im fairly new at this,the problem is im trying to download a movie its an avi file when i try to veiw it it flickers with a green screen its happened a few times when i try download this movie,does anyone know why this is happening ?

dunno if this may help but just checked another part of the forum and it told me to check bitzi lookup and i did this all the ratings for this movie are great,so could it maybe that i cant play avi files or something im running windows xp sp2,and the movie is playing on realplayer! thanks id be very grateful if someone could help me

It could be a codec issue....

Get one of these pacs...
For XP this codec pac is very good
Download XP Codec Pack 2.0.8 - XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack
Or for Vista this pac
Vista Codec Package v4.4.7 Beta 4a (freeware)



Also get the VLC media player, it has all the codecs pre-installed and can play just about all files...
VLC media player - Overview

thanks hopefully this works im downloading codec pack just now
