    I can't PLAY AVI Video with MY PC! HELP!

    Good Day Everybody! I facing a big problem with my computer that i can't play any AVI file with WMP. This happened after I downloaded and play the phony AVI file.

    Before this, I can play all the AVI files with WMP. After I downloaded a AVI video from the internet. The Message shown:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the player does not support the format you are trying to play"

    After that, I try to play other AVI files which I play it before, but the problem is all AVI files in my computer cannot play with the WMP, Quick Time, cannot import to Adobe Premiere, cannot encoder, and this cause me really panic.

    I think it could be some virus deleted my codec or my WMP just crush? I try install DivX, other Codecs, follow exactly what microsoft taught but the result still the same.

    Im Novice Video Editor.
    I hope somebody can help me because such a big problem if I cant play all AVI files i created.

    If you're running win xp you can do a system restore to the time before this happened. Other wise I would uninstall the codecs and reinstall them. Also d/l Avicodec (freeware) and open your avi file/s in it. It will tell you if the proper codec is installed. You can also use FFDShow or VLC (videolan) to play your avi files. Let us know of your sucess.
