Can't view .avi files
I really need help. I am an anime fan and I can't view .avi files. I have downloaded every codec known to man but all in vain. I have tried K-lite codec pack which appers to be quite comprehensive but still nothing, I tried avi codec from free-codecs... nothing, I even tried the cccp codec which is especially for anime but still nothing. All I see is lines and colours which look like my system has suffered a hit from a magnetic pulse. What in the world do I do?

Is this for all avi files or just a couple
Where you able to view avi files before
Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup.

Its for all of them mate, I was able to view them before but I got a virus which led me to format the computer. After that I haven't been able to view them. There have been no hardware changes at all. Besides that I installed Kaspersky's antivirus, cc cleaner and ad-aware, but that was more to keep things safe to prevent more viruses.

My computer was given to me so I don't really know what my video card cpabilities are, and since the format I may have removed the driver if there is one. Could that be the issue.

Do you have any other files that can be viewed in a media player
(wmv, mkv, mp4 etc.. )
If you do, see if you can play another format besides avi
Also, if you have a dvd movie, see if you can play that
To view dvd's in WMP, you need a dvd decoder
NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder
Free-Codecs.com :: Download nVIDIA PureVideo Decoder 1.02-223 : The nVIDIA PureVideo Decoder combines DVD and MPEG-2 playback
So see if you can view any other types of movie files
Also in the link above for divx codecs, there was also a DIVX player in that download, see if the avi file can be viewed in the divx player

Anyway I tried the DivX player again and it worked somewhat, now I see the actual picture but it runs slowly as though its showing me the episode frame by frame.

Really don't know, you have tried vlc, wmp, divx player and still getting bogged down
At this point I would give ccleaner a try to see if it would help at all
-Uninstall ALL codecs that may have been installed and then run ccleaner (registry cleaner/optimizer) and then install the k-lite full package again and start with VLC
ccleaner (Freeware)
Download CCleaner 2.16.830 - FileHippo.com
On the right hand side, click download latest version
