Hello,
A few days ago I was messing around with my brother's computer (he's not very computer-literate), installing some codecs etc., and I noticed a strange problem with his WMP 9: it won't play any AVI's (actually I think some DivX3 movies worked). Other players work as intended, but WMP9 loads the file just fine, doesn't try to download codecs, changes the window size to the resolution of the movie and just sits there. I can seek through the file, but all I get are still pictures. That wouldn't be a problem for me, as I would just use a different player, but my brother insists on using WMP. In the end I just told him to use MPC, but I'm sure he'd be happier if he didn't have to.
