   | Yes, chances are you need a DivX Codec. try downloading the Divx Playa at http://www.divx.com

| Dont know if the Divx Player will install extra codecs or just decompresses through the player , but it'd be better to download just the codecs.And when installed , just open up your file with Windows Media Player and there you go. BTW , what is a video codec question doing in " General Gaming " ? .. oh well  |

| Becareful too, DivX Pro will install Gator with out your knowledge or consent. You have to have a valid key to make it work without Gator too.
