I made a fresh install of Windows XP, and updated it to SP3. I tried to play a .avi file on WMP11, but no video and sound only. I downloaded and installed K-Lite Codec and XP Codec Pack, both to no avail, so I uninstalled them. I installed VLC, but the same problem occurs everytime. Currently using DivX player as a temporary solution, but in full screen the video stutters and is not smooth. I tried to reinstall everything, but it didn't help. My previous installation of Windows XP was able to play .avi files in WMP11 and VLC, with no further problems.
Can anyone help me how to play .avi files in VLC properly?
Currently I have uninstalled all Codec Packs, and have only VLC installed on my computer.
Thanks!

Re: Video black, sound only while playing .avi
VLC doesn't use codec packs so no need for them to be installed when using VLC.
Try disabling video overlay/accelerated video output. Go to:
Tools >> Preferences... >> Video
And untick "Accelerated video output". Press "Save" and try a video.
