I recently bought a new Gateway laptop with Vista Home Premium, but I can't seem to figure out how to view the .avi files that my new Samsung sc-x210L produces.

The software that it came with (Ulead 9) does not work with Vista, so I have tried to download codecs from the internet, to no avail. I have downloaded a program called CCCP (combined community codec pack 2007) and another called Vistacodecs v429, neither of which did anything for my original problem of not being able to view the .avi files generated by my camcorder.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as I am not a computer savvy person.

P.S. audio will generate when I play the file through wmp, but no video.
