Title says all. For some reason I don't have a .avi codec or a program that will run .avi by default. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow, dude.
To me, codecs are so out-dated.
VLC media player is the way to
go in terms of media.
It will SERIOUSLY play ANYTHING
that's a media file. even those
awkward russian video formats.
Even if it doesn't recognize it, it will
still play it! lol
it's purely amazing.
Here is the link to the .exe file.
- Code:
http://www.videolan.org/mirror.html?mirror=http://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/videolan/&file=vlc/0.8.6b/win32/vlc-0.8.6b-win32.exe
enjoy!!

I have one on a disc that has the k lite plugins or... something. I never needed to use it because I was fine without it but now that I need it I can't find it. It's all good though.

Xvid, VLC, and
http://www.cccp-project.net/ That will allow you to play any file that exists.

VLC will play anything? might have to try that out sometimes.
But I still might need to keep my WMP for streaming videos on the
net.

VLC can do that also.
PSPRuler, you must not have heard me and PSP_Man right, it plays anything
Besides, Windows media player sucks so much genitalia.
And Jet Audio is good for making lots of play lists and it takes up like No power when it runs.
Combine the two, and you will laugh at WMP's s**tty abilities.

Yeah, Ruler.
VLC will do anything you want it to.
And no problem, DarkPacMan.
