http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocalI've also had a problem with AVI files on Vista.
On my HP desktop running Vista, AVI files from one of my digital cameras
and some older AVI files from work just don't play. This means that none
of the Microsoft home video editing tools work with them. I've tooled
around the Microsoft site a little and done some Google searches but
haven't figured out how to get the codecs into Vista.
On my daughters' Toshiba Vista laptop they all work just fine. So if I
really really need a file, I chase them off YouTube and IMing and use
their laptop.
Good luck with Vista.
