Hi
Would some one tell me how to make my Windows Media Player play .mov and .avi movie files. The player is asking for some codec pluggin etc
Thanks in advancesbasti01

Windows media player can't play .mov files,
you need to download quicktime.http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
And for the avi files, most likely you need to install this http://www.divx.com/divx/player/

.mov is playable by quicktime only. as for your AVI, you do need the codecs, which you can download here:
www.divx.com
for your .movs go to google and type 'quicktime alternative' and you should find it.
Its a good cut down version of quicktime that doesnt take over your whole machine.

Hold the phone here are Quick time and Real Player Alternatives that won't take over your whole computer.....I'd rather have a virus than either of these two players.... http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
