Hello.

I downloaded divx and installed the codecs to get a video to play and now windows media player won't work. i've uninstalled the divx stuff but that hasn't helped. any suggestions.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

try the divX player that comes with the codec, and for the rest use some 3 party player like Winamp...

didn't happen to me...

i'd prefer if windows media player would work though. would anyone advise unistalling media player completly?

[BeBMan]

Are you sure those new codecs are unistalled completely?

Is the an error message from windows media player? Or does it simply do nothing? Perhaps it is not on all movie files?

Reinstalling WMP would work. What Divx codec did you used? 3.11 or some bundle.

[raghar]

You might like to install "zoom player" its free and is less heavy than WMP

[OneFootInTheGrave]

of course try reinstalling it - always, only if that doesn't work, use third party stuff, which is not worse at all just takes a little time to get used to...

it won't let me unistall it.

i used divx 2.11

[Makeo]

an internal application error has occured.

is what i get when i try and open wmp

[raghar]

Divx 2.11? pretty rare bird. Look at divx.org, or try to find things like Nimo codec pack. It might be safer.

oops my mistake its divx 5.05 bundle

[raghar]

So simply run installer of WMP 9 or 7.1 and your problems should be solved. Divx should work after reinstall of WMP. No need for uninstaling first it will renew intself
BTW I would run Spybot search and destroy first. You might have some ugly adware on your computer.

wtf i can't uninstall wmp.
