No, I still have the original problem (from the first post) - my win movie codecs are screwed up so media player won't play avi's or wmv's... only mpeg's. I was looking for a player that came with it's own codecs, so that it would be independent from the windows ones and thus able to play avi and wmv movies...

And now VLC has failed me! So once again I can't watch avi's or wmv's... and it's damn 2007!

Is there a way to reinstall xp movie codecs without making a fresh install of xp itself?
