I downloaded an avi file, and I can't get it to play, windows media player produces the error message "Class not registered" and gives the error code 0x80040154.

I ran it in GSpot, and it says I have the relevant codec, but when I try to render, it gives the same error message.

If anyone knows, what does the error message mean, microsoft support does not list it, and what (if anything) can I do about it?

Does the movie play? If it does it might indicate a corrupted codec?

no, the movie doesn't play. And the codecs are all working because I can play other AVI files that use them, it's just this one AVI file.

I don't believe it's a fake either as I downloaded it from a trusted source, it may have been corrupted during download though, I was just wondering if this was a problem anyone else had encountered

Maybe the index of the movie got messed up.

You can try and fix this by resaving the avi:

Load movie in virtualdubmod.

Go to video menu, select Direct Steam Copy

Save AVI.
