cannot play downloaded file

Hi all,

I have jus downloaded a movie and when i try to play it on window media player 9, the searchbar and the time is moving, but there is no pictures, no sound, jus a balck screen.

I downloaded the DivX codec and the problem is still there. i downloaded the G-spot and it states that the required codec is installed.

could someone help??
thank you

What was the required codec that GSpot said was already installed? What is the FourCC code that GSpot gives?

Note a complete possible solution, but try playing the file using VLC (www.videolan.org)

the 4CC is DX50/divx
and the
status is 2 compatible codec installed


please help

used vlc for quite a wile it was great, but now it has stopped working. i reinstalled it and i tryied useing divx player but nothing.

please help!!
