Can someone please tell me what the hell is an AVI file and why I can't play it? I've tried downloading those Converter things, but it's not working. Thanks

genereally you play it in windows media player.

Depending what it is, chances are your missing codecs or the avi file is an unfinished download.

Here's what you do:

1) unplug the computer
2) throw it out the window of a tall building
3) learn to use a computer before you get another one.


EDIT: jumb, please try to post more useful posts next time.

Real player is evil. If the devil turned into a program, he would turn into Real Player.
