To find out which filter/codec is actually being used to decode the movie you should download GSpot and open the movie you are having problems playing. After loading the movie into GSpot, use the "Render" option at the bottom of the program and look at the value of the "Video path". If the video path says "DivX Decoder Filter" then the installed DivX codec is being used to decode the movie, so either the codec is outdated or the file is damaged/corrupt. If the video path says "ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder" or anything else then you need to figure out how to disable this filter/codec.To disable the "ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder" from decoding DivX videos, simply goto the Start->Programs->ffdshow folder and select the Configuration option. Then switch to the "Codecs" section and change the DivX setting from "libavcodec" to either "disabled" or the "DivX" option. This should tell your computer to use the installed DivX codec to decode DivX movies instead of FFDShow.
