I downloaded 2 movies off limewire basic which when i tried to play my windows media player wouldnt work and neither would my real player, the main one i wanted to wach was an avi file and real said i need some codecs yet it wouldnt download them, can any1 help me please?

Hi greenslumber,

You may want to consider getting another media player, as a backup if nothing else. VLC media player is a good one with the codecs built in and will play most any file.

XP Codec Pack 1.3.0 is a good codec pack for windows media player. Be sure to install it after you d/l it.

More info on codecs and media players here: CODECs list and alternate players for Movies

A lot of movie files are either fake or corrupt. Learn to use "Bitzi" it will help tell you which movie files are good or not: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ... & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/or Chat

Hope this helped:).
