WMP doesn't play audio

[notwithead]

One day I went to open an .avi file and I was asked if I wanted to download some file and like a mororn I said yes and didn't write down the name of the file. The file ran fine and then a few weeks laterr I went back to play something else in WMP and it wouldn't play any audio the visualization thing was going off but the mp3 wasn't playing. I tried other files and .avi files and none of them played audio either. However when I played the files using Real Player they worked fine. Anyone knpw what could have caused this and how tho fix it.

Try uninstalling windows media player, and downloading it from Microsoft's website. Also check and see if the avi doesn't have a DIVX codec, in that case, you need the right codec and/or a divx player.
