Try using original codecs (avoid codec packs):

By using codec-packs you will be tempted to install more than necessary. In this connection please note that more surely isn't equivalent to better. To the contrary!! The art is knowing to restrict yourself!
In most situations, you do not need to install codec/filter packs and certainly not every codec/filter and application that comes with these packs. In fact, you may run into problems if you install too many codec/filters on your computer. It is highly recommended that you only install the codec/filters that you need, so be very selective!
Note there is nothing against selectively using codec-packs as a source as such .... However, do make sure to always make good use of the possibility offered by them to deselect = unselect elements before installing!! However, I personally think it is still better to separately download and install the various elements you need. Then you can also separately and individually install, uninstall and/or upgrade them (instead of having to do that as part of a whole pack).

tks a lot for the clarification. From now on i'll try to do always like you said. Tks again

sorry to ask this but I'm not quite an expert in this matter....What codecs must I download? Is the DivX appropriatte to run Avi files...? I already have the latest Div installed but it crashes when I try to run Avi files... :roll:

Tks
