get windows media player..the latest verion...and then use Kazaa or whatever to get up to date "codec's" (which are like mini programs to make the movie play correct)

jsut type in media player and then avi codec or just codec when you search for for the codec..

you could do that but make life simple. forget using kazaa to get codecs.

just go an get DivX and XviD codecs from their sites its free and alot faster. This is for avi movies. At times Media Player searches on its own and requests from a server to download the needed codec. Otherwise, xvid and divx should do it for you.
