Lost Summary tab on .AVI properties

[prithvi]

From 2/3 days it was ok, but something has happened to my AVI files after that ,i mean when i right click any .AVI files, select properties and click the summary tab it simply shows “Summary properties are unavailable for the selected source(s)” instead of the usual details about resolution, bit rate, codec etc…. (in the advanced view that is)

"summary properties are unavailable for the selected source (s)"

The tab works fine for all other file types but not with AVI.

i have not moved any files ha..me on xp sp3 & done some windows update

and useing k-lite codec pack 5.4.0

plz help in this

I would imagine that .avi files got associated with another program (vlc player is my guess), to get your summary page back:

open Windows media player

go to tools

go to options

go to file types

check the .avi block

or download something that does a decent job and keep your current associations:
