I have an AVI file that plays fine in WMP but won't open in vegas7??

Any ideas?

When i open up in vegas it only opens the audio and no picture?

At least if i could open in vegas i coucl re-render as a QT or something?

You have a file that uses a codec that Vegas doesn't have but WMP does. You need to download a codec that Vegas can use for that particular file. The FIRST step is to find out what codec is needed. Where did the file come from? Use GSpot to figure out what codec was used.
