Every time I try to play an avi file through media player it tries to connect to download a codec but then I get a message saying error downloading codec, is there some other way of getting a codec? Is it because I'm running an iffy copy of XP pro?

at Kazaa Lite's website (www.k-lite.tk) they have a codec pack you should download that it's got all of the codecs you'll need, Divx, Xvid, 3ivx and loads more. HTH

Got to agree, I would not recommend installing codec packs when you can just download the specific codec needed.

If it is just for playback then you could just install ffdshow instead of divx.
