Help! I downloaded the necessary codec but I still can't view avi files...

[eea76]

I downloaded and installed what I needed to, and I got a installation confirmation message, stating, "You are now ready to view avi files" or something like that, but when I open up an avi movie in WMP, all I get is a black screen. Is there something I need to do in the player itself to activate the codec or something? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
