    VISTA and AVI files - won't play video

    Facing some problem playing AVI files with Windows Media Player in Vista. Whenever I run any avi file, I can hear the sound properly but the no videos. Only I can is swirly graphical images. As I’m not a computer geek, don’t know what could be done here to fix it. Can you guys suggest me something? Many thanks.

    Even I am facing the same problem on my brand new HP computer running with Vista and WMP11. I contacted Hp Tech Support and they tried to help me for two hours on phone, but were unable to get it done.

    Hope somebody here has working solution for this issue.

    The only cause I can guess is the missing codec. WMP requires codec to play AVI files. Also if you guys are trying to play any AVI downloaded from web then most probably they need DivX codec which you can download from here http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/.

    Just install the same, restart your computers and play the file again. Let me know if you guys face any problem again.
