I was using both! I just updated Winamp earlier today, since I was apparently out of date. Hmm, I'll try to update the media player. It was very frustrating though.
OOooo, I had this problem before. If it's an avi file you need the proper codec, and you'll have to download a search-for-codec program, and you know what I have the program on my home computer, but not here, so I can't even tell you the name. durh. Let me look around on the web a little.
It's like a.... thing, that you need to play videos. Go here: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ and download the v2.21. Run it, and it should tell you what codec you need in order to play the avi file. Then, um. Geez, haven't done this in a while. I think you can search for the codec you need and install it.
sorry, not all that helpful! I just can't remember how I exactly I fixed mine.
