I changed my pc from "project dinasour" up to a much newer version.

Having transferred my pictures etc across none of the videos that I've taken will play :eek:

You get sound but no pics , anyone shine a light as to why they aren't playing?

make sure that your DIVX drivers are upto date. Have you updated the DVD software? Normally videos won't play until these have been activated.

Download this: http://www.divx.com/en/win That should do it.

Who said they were DivX?

Although you'll need to download and install the correct codec(s), it might not necessarily be the DivX codec!

I knew they would be AVIs and that codec always sorts it out.

That codec always sorts DivX AVIs. OK, so that is one of the most popular and worked in this case - but there are literally hundreds of codecs for AVIs ;)
