From the top..In Windows Media Player, you need to make sure that the
formats you are playing back are enabled. I've not got V9 here, but I have
at home- I think if you click on Tools, then options-look for the 'formats'
tab and make sure the type of files you want to play are ticked.
Onto your camera files... .I have GSpot, and it's very good, but I find
aviCodec simpler and better-get it here (It's not a big download)

avi is a standard format, but there are variations within it, hence why you
were told you needed a codec-can you remeber qwhat GSpot told you to
install?

It does sound like this file is a DivX encoded file, but if you open it in
aviCodec and let me know what the video and audio information is, I'll try
and help you more.
