    Hi All,
    Newbie at this forum and Lappies. I have recenttly purchased a 6930G and am very happy wioth it so far howver I went to play some movies that were in AVI format and all I got was the lines on the Windows Media Player and the sound. Can any one help out here, I was under the understanding that this was a complete Home Thearter package.

    Thanks to any one that can help.

    Chris :confused:

    Use VLC player or another 3rd party av player. WMP has its strengths and weaknesses, I have found AVI files to be a weakness.
