Avi Preview can't cope with all downloads.

I prefer Videolan vlc. it plays most if not all files and is scaleable. It's actually a not bad player which can cope with partial downloads.

It is possible that you have to uninstall ALL codecs before you install the K-Lite Codec pack to prevent problems from happening. Once you uninstall all of them install only the K-lite codec pack.

Spot on that man.

Remove all other codecs and packs before installing the k-lite codec pack.

To avoid conflicts.
