Help with videos please . When I try to watch some videos the videos do not work because the videos are all gray . The sound works OK it's just the video part that does not work . Can anyone tell me why some videos do that ? Like why are the videos gray ? Is there any kind of program that can fix this ? Can anyone give me a link to fix the videos ?

probably the codecs on your computer are corrupt or not there

Use videolan from www.videolan.org
It has all the codecs in it inbullt and is the best player (according to me) there is
or install the K-lite codec pack if you want to play the file on someother media player...

Cheers

The videos I'm trying to play are avi video files . They use to work with my RealPlayer but now they do not work for my RealPlayer anymore . And I'm not sure why they are not working for my RealPlayer .

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
That's the link for the k lite codec pack
It works for windows media player, Winamp. I'm not sure for real, but I think it will...
try it out and post back

Just give video lan a go sometime, I'm sure you'll forget real

Cheers
