A little help please! WMM woes...

[starrylizard]

OK, so WMM keeps asking for a codec each time I try to use an AVI file, then it says it's downloaded it and that if I can't use the file then i should restart the program. I do and it still doesn't work...instead it says that it's downloading the codec and the whole thing repeats.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I be changing the AVI files to a different format or something? I'm so annoyed, because I was finally going to try to start vidding tonight. I think I've figured out most of the necessary buttons in WMM to make a start and I can't.

*frowns*
*lip wobble*

Help? Please?
Anyone?


EDIT: WOO YEAH BABY! It works, it works! It's ALIVE!!! Mwahahahahahaha!

*cackles with glee and dances about the room*

I don't know what made it work exactly...DivX or restarting or whatever...but in the words of the Rodney "I really don't care!".

THANKYOU lovely flist! Only problem is now it's 10pm and I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day though!

Yeah I do watch them in WMP, that's why it's weird!
I'll have a go with some other avi files later and see if it keeps it up. Plus once I stop dling ScannersII I can try restarting the whole computer. Maybe that will help, but I may be overly hopeful. I'd hate to have to dl them all again. I think I may have a program to convert files into different formats, so I may look into that if I really can't get it to work.
Tre frustrating.
Thanks Derry.
