Sounds like you may need to update your codecs. Here are the 2 major ones that I know of:-
DivX Codecs

Xvid Codecs

Here is some more handy info on Codecs too
CODECS-Glossary of terms

Read the above CODECS-Glossary of Terms. You should find most of the information you need there.

Thanks again...just one more thing

Does DivX and XviD work off one another?
I've got the latest player 6.0 i think, will that help?

Hi again Night_Shift,

I get the same problems with codecs everytime there is a new update.

Its just a matter of finding out which codec has just updated that I need, and installing it.

As far as codecs are concerned... DivX and Xvid will install happily on your PC together just as long as you make sure that they are newer releases then the previously installed ones.

Make sure to uninstall any prior codec PACKS and install codecs seperatly, reboot after/between each installion.

Good luck,
Willow.
