i downloaded some avi files and tried playing them in windows media player...the sound plays perfectly but the picture doesn't show. a few years ago i downloaded codecs to enable the play of avi files, but i recently reformatted my hard drive and forgot where i downloaded them in the first place. where can i download them for free?

:thumbsup:

though in the last few weeks it has started playing up on my computer..freezing at the end of a video (to the point of sometime hanging the PC)..no idea why since I didn't change anything (and I tried re-installing..only stopped the hanging, not the freezing)

0.9.2 was released a few days ago. Have you tried updating?

You should go to download.com and search for the Cole2k Media Codec Pack- that usually will solve 9/10 compatibility problems with your Windows Media Player. :thumbsup:
