make sure in your options tab to select file type and associate avi's to wmp. If that doesn't work, d/l divx player and use that to watch it.

Sometimes the effects of virus's kills the entire computer. Once a virus is executed on your computer, your computer is never the same. So no matter what you do, reformating the computer would be the best bet. Also, try pcpitstop.com.

notice.. its called Media Player classic. not WINDOWS media Player classic. its not by Microsoft so u can install just like any other program and WMP wont get pissed off. this bad boy plays my high res divx files (i'm talkin 760xwhatever) perfectly where neither divx player nor WMP could play it smoothly. although for my 1024x768 res divx files i gotta use mplayer in linux to play em smoothly.

peep it here.

Sasami 2k and VLC Player (Video Lan Client) work well also.
