Either Vista or WMP11 won't play AVI videos (sound but no video) - one of
which worked fine on my
WinXP/Wmp10 setup?

Have I got a missing codec? - if so which one?

I tried GSpot - but that reports no video & no results

there is absolutly no homer simpson icons in the software I told you!

I have been using them for years.. and they are 100% legit.

something is strange that is going on with your machine .. but its NOT those
codecs..

I suggest you re-accosiate all the WMP avi files with WMP11

do you know how?

What specific codec (fourCC) does the file use?

do you want the whole dump in machine code so you can swiftly identify it?

LOL you are talking technical to a person who clearly doesnt know what four
cc is...
