    My guess is thats its a divx
    most episodes of stuff are these days

    and all codecs need .dll's in the system folders so ill have to snag an admins log-on like i have tongue.gif

    All big avi files off the web these days were most likely encoded using divx so just go download the divx ;-) codec, install it and you should be able to play it.

    yeah that happens sometimes to us in ITT where we dont log on with our profile.

    Unfortunately it still doesnt let us install the codecs. We just watch them on the machines where some ppl have local admin.

    Snags
