You may have the infamous DivX codec issue. If you have 5 installed (it sounds like you do), then uninstall it. Then, install 3.11. After that, reinstall 5. If that doesn't fix your problem, chances are it's not that.

um... I didn';t unsderstand any of that, oh you mean DirX, I'm using version 9. if that's not what yu mean, then Iassume its some sort of player? I use winamp, does that have anyhting to do with it?

no, not DirectX!

DivX (with a 'v') is a very common video codec. It can be found and downloaded for free if you search for it.

Go here: http://www.doom9.org/

Download the codec pack, that should solve virtually all of your codec issues.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I went to the site that was posted, and after searching around I installed DivX 3.1 alpha. However, I still recieve a codec-related error everytime I try to run the videos. Is there anything else I need to do, or did I install the wrong thing? Thanks in advance.

Did you install Gordian Knot Codec Pack 1.6?
