need help and advise

everytime i try to play something that is formatted (.avi or .zip etc)
my real one player looks for the software needed to play the file but never finds any. what do i need to play files that are .avi, .zip etc?. is there a quick time player for windows xp?

You need to download the DivX codec from the front page of this website, under - Latest XP drivers - Divx 5.0

Also the .zip file needs to be UNcompressed, the actual file is inside that.

Use winzip or winrar to uncompress the .zip file

if the movie is a real AVI you should be able to use media player, or else you need the Divx codec. you could also goto apple's site and download quicktime to play AVI's
