    I'm not computer savvy, so I hope the title of this thread was somewhat correct. I've been trying to watch a video a friend sent me, but the screen in Windows Media Player is all black. I've downloaded the AVIcodec and put the file into the box to see the specs, and here they are:

    File : 28 MB (28 MB), duration: 0:00:59, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 94 %, ,

    Video : 27 MB, 3842 Kbps, 29.865 fps, 640*480 (4:3), IV50 = Intel Indeo R5.0, Unsupported

    Audio : 1.26 MB, 176 Kbps, 22050 Hz, 1 channels, 0x1 = PCM, CBR, , Supported

    I couldn't find any Intel Indeo or IV50 codecs on the list, I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to fix this file so I can watch it.. :)

    Thank you!
