Media Center Crashes on many .avi files

I have crashing problems on home premium x64. A lot but not all my .avi files tend to crash while using Media Center AND WMP11. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with codecs.

I have Vista Codec pack x64 and "Xvid 1.1.3"

Note that before Xvid 1.1.3 i wasn't able to play any .avi files in WMP11. Just got sound.

Forgot to post my specs...

Core 2 duo E8400 @3Ghz
Asus P5N-D 650i
Patriot 2x2G DDR2 800mhz
Nvidia 8800GT
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Corsair HX620w
Seagate 500G SATA HDD

Search for K-lite codec pack and try to find the 64 bit version. Install that and you'll find that most of your video problems will be over. I would recommend uninstalling other codec packs first, but you don't need to. Too many codecs can be as bad as not enough.

Safe to assume you are watching downloaded movies? Good luck.

I recommend NOT installing PACKs..just install the codec you needs.
