"FILENAME.avi could not be imported. The required codec was not downloaded automatically because the Download codecs automatically check box is not selected in the Options dialog box."

I have tried searching on the internet but cannot really gt to grips with what it means or what needs to be done to fix the problem?

I am working on a network so I am not sure if that makes any difference, but nothing is protected in any way as i'm at home.

From what I gathered from the net I need to download something or maybe convert my files?

any help pleaseee? thank you in advance

Try downloading the K-Lite Codec Pack.

The problem you are having is because the XVID codec isn't working properly, but the K-Lite pack should fix it.

Make sure you reboot after you install it.

have you uploaded music to WMM yet? when i downloaded k-lite my audio on videos sounded screechy and horrible untill i uninstalled it

Go to preferences and disable all the codecs but the ones you need. Should take a few minutes to get it narrowed down, but you'll have no crashing.

That is a problem with your system rather than K-Lite. Lots of people have no problems with K-Lite.
