Erm....Windows Media Player 9 ???
Why can't you play AVI files ?
I have XP Pro installed and have no probs.
Download RealPlayer and "that other one wot escapes my mind" (for the life of me I can't remember it's name!) if it helps.

Hello

You may need a codec to play certain (dubiously obtained) AVI's.
