Bad codec??

I think I might have a corrupt codec as now my windows media player will not play an avi movie and it always did before. I hear some say not to have too many codecs installed. I am wondering if I should delete all the codecs I have now and re-install them. I can play avi movies with my Divx player on my computer but not windows media player 10. Can I just do a search by typing in codec, all files in c: and then delete them or is this wrong or not removing properly. Thanks for any help...ed

 

hi

ever thought it may be the avi itself? if everything worked AOK before.

 

No, it does it with every avi file I try. Even my windows media player will not play an avi now. Anyone know which codec is needed to play an avi in media player. It did work so something or a codec is corrupt.ed

 

hi

uninstall all codecs and install K-LITE **MEGA** codec pack from http://www.free-codecs.com

on install tick the lot!

 

What or how is the best way to un-install codecs, are they in the add-remove program folder? Ed

 

hi there

yes that the baby!

 

Thank you very much, I will try that soon...ed
