    Unable to play avi files
    Hello, I am posting for a friend
    From what she told she's experiencing a problem with avi files. She can't get them to play neither in Ares nor in Windows Media player. So I told that it might not be a problem of the two programs listed above but a problem in the settings. Please help me to help her!
    Thanks so much

    You probably need to install the necessary codecs, or use a media player with built-in codecs such as VLC. A popular codec that supports many formats is FFdshow.
