Bsplayer will not play avis properly!

[psingman]

Ok, I have followed all the directives by the wise in here. Most of the avis I have will not play correctly on my Windows 98SE machine. A lot play kinda grainy and slow. I can not fathom how a video player like this that is supposed to play avis (a bunch of people told me to get BS) cannot handle most of the avi files out there. I think there should be some kind of universal codec or one that can be updated when you try to play the avi that will tell you what you need.

You know I downloaded GSpot to check the avi files, and it always says all the proper codecs are installed. So, I am eager to restart my avi playing quest. Please show me what I need to do and the order so I can do some viewing. I know, I rant a bit, but c'mon this can't be that difficult can it. Hope not, thanks for listening, psingman
