Avi Preview Not Working Anymore - Codecs Missing?

[Big_B]

Avi preview quit working recently. Error message is:

http://home.comcast.net/~bradite/images/avierror.bmp

pressing yes takes me no where - the page reference is gone.

this seems to be a new problem. the only thing installed lately is winamp 5.

any thoughts?

Maybe theres not enough part files for avi to render a decent watchable preview?
And ive seen this error my self lots and lots so I switched to VideoLAN to preview my files now

well i can't get the video to work at all with videolan, i'll play with it later. On a whim a tried to open the dats in windowsmplyr, and they play. wierd - oh well.

Suggest you install the KLite Codec Pack.

Try downloading a new version of AVI Preview

In my opinion VideoLan is better than avi preview as to the best of my knowledge avipreview doesnt preview mpegs so its a very limited program...
to get videolan working properly delete the "preferences file located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME HERE\Application Data\vlc

youll need to have "view hidden files and folders" enabled if you dont already
