hi all, I have windows 98 and sometimes I have trouble with the video portion of .avi files I have downloaded. The audio always seems to work fine but every now and then no video. I am also having a problem watching .wmv files.
Any help would be gretaly appreciated

Suggest you use the following -
Free-Codecs.com : QuickTime Alternative 1.81 : QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player.

Every download to this link is corrupted , thanx for trying Gandolf I appreciate it

The file is not corrupt, quicktime alt. only works for winNT/xp/2003. There must be another solution. I'll see if I can find anything.

edit: It looks like Klite codec pack is compatible w/ win 98 that is what i would try first.
here is the download page
Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 3.10 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.10 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.10 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools

But if that does not work there is always VLC player which doesn't even have to install on the sytem, I carry it w/ me on my portable hard drive and it works very well.
VLC media player for Windows

I hope one of the two get you going.

Gonna try it now thanx a bunch

That download is for windows 2000 not windows 98 it says i need k-lite codec 2.88
