I have a problem. I downloaded a .avi file and when i play it in windows media player the audio plays but i get the windows media player music visualizer thing instead of the video. Can someone help?
I'm just going to say it's not a downloaded illegally movie. What you need to do is download K-lite codec pack, or VLC media player. Just google them and download and install. Will play any movie type you throw at it.
I had before the k-lite codec pack, but it was generating an "explorer.exe" error when opening a folder with avi-s. Get the vlc media player, it won't need any codec or any third party software to play movies.
