Downloaded a movie, how do I watch it?
#1
This is probably a stupid question, but this is the first thing besides songs I have downloaded from kazza. The file shows up in my "video" section of kazza, but when I click on it the screen is just black and there is no sound. If I search for the file and try to play it in Media Player, it will play but again with just a black screen and no sound. It's an avi file, how do I watch it?

You need a codec
look at the file extension and see what it is
It will be the abbreviation at the end of the file name
Usually if you use media player it will search for the codec itself.
For example you will see .divx
Divx has its own player which you can download.
Or the file could be crap
In kazaa under "video" if you scroll to the right it will list the codec needed to play the movie
You can download the codec under "software"
