Hello,
I have an .avi file which plays fine in WMP in Windows 7 but it
only plays audio in WMP in Vista.
Why is that difference?
Thanks,
Fred

You probably need the XVID codec for Vista.
 
Windows 7 has built in support for most MPEG4-based 'AVI codecs'. This
should simplify multimedia playback greatly. =)
