I have the same problems. I have tried div-x but it dont help. I couldnt solve it so I installed both XP and Windows 98. Really silly, but I really have to play all my avifiles.

I play avi files and they work fine. I have installed these codecs: wmtools(run install program) mpeg4x(unzip and put the files in temp folder) iv5setup(run install prog.) codinstl(run install prog.) divx_412 bundle (run install program) smrpatchsetup and things work fine. :)
If you haven't installed those, try it and see if it works. hope it works. Ash

I have at least one million codecs installed on my system, but the only ones used for avi files are wmv and divx. wmv is installed anyway, and if you have installed divx too, and it still doesn't work, then it might be a problem with the player rather than the codecs. in that case try another player, e.g. media player 6 instead of 8.
