Re: [Simply Computers] Re: Can't play AVI files ?

 

Actually, you do. And. for you, there is a working set already installed.

Go to Control Panel | Sounds | Hardware (tab) and
find Audio Codecs and select it. Then click the
Properties button (below the list) and then the
Properties tab to see your installed Audio
codecs. Going back to the list under Hardware,
find Video Codecs and follow the same procedure.

For XP - other OSes may vary.

Really, you have to have codecs or nutin' A/V would work!
