Hello i have purchased a casio digital camera and can record 30 second movie clips which are saved as avi. this was working fine until i downloaded windows media player 9 or it might have happened when a collegue suggested i run ad-aware can anyone help as i am no longer able to view these clips i record, could i have delected registry keys when i ran ad-aware? would that stop the clip showing? oh i am using windows me. when i click on the recording i want to open i get a black box with play greyed out

Might there be a proprietory codec that was overwritten/deleted?
=====
Both AVICodec and GSpot can be used to determine the codecs required for a movie to play. AVICodec, despite its name has better MPEG capabilities and thus is reccomended for MPEG files (such as those for (S)VCDs). GSpot on the otherhand is far more efficient for scanning AVI files. Both programs offer unique features also, AVICodec allows you to queue up and entire folder to for checking in addition to providing direct links to sites where codecs can be downloaded; GSpot allows for 'rendering' of files (to check to see if the system can actually play the file with the available codecs and to check for fakes. AVICodec can be downloaded from http://avicodec.duby.info/ and GSpot can be downloaded from http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
