Hello. First post. I've looked through the countless number of threads for an issue like mine and can find none.
I've got a quite a few DiVx-encoded avi files on the hard drive. I have always played them with the windows media player (ver. 11) with no problems.
I don't know what really happened bu, recently, I installed CucuSoft Video converting software which I later uninstalled. After the uninstall, I can no longer play AVI files. I can play wmv & mpeg video files just fine (as well as audio files). But for some reason, AVIs won't play.
I thought maybe I just need to reinstall the codecs, so I went to the DivX website, downloaded it, and reinstalled it. Nothing.
It should be interesting to note that the AVI files will play using the DiVx player.
Here's the error I get "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
When I took a look to see what data this error report contains, I got:
AppName: wmplayer.exe
AppVer: 11.0.5721.5145
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00000000
Thanks to all for the read (and help)!
