How do I get an .avi file to play? Do I need special software? Windows Media Player has sound, but no picture.

Hello rcbloom2.

Welcome to the Gnutella forums!

Your media player is lacking the necessary CODECs to play the file. It's a common problem. Easiest fix is to download and install VLC player. It's free and comes with all necessary CODECs installed.
