Posted December 5, 2005 My Laptop will not play any videos, it plays the sound, but when i get the video screen up nothing is showing, its the same problem for each bit of software, WINAMP, Media Player, Quicktime, Acer Arcade, and the Creative media studio, it treats all the videos like MP3's as i do get the sound. Does any one know why this is happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 6, 2005 Go here and download the DivX codec. Fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2005 Gaggle, drivers have nothing to do with codecs or playing videos. You need DivX and XviD codecs, my suggestion is the Kazaa Lite codec pack, one of the only good things to come from Kazaa. It *might* be in the essential prog's thread otherwise just google it.

Posted December 6, 2005 Or for a more up to date version, go here. Get the mega codec pack and life will be easier in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
