Problem playing DivX files

[PowerWolf]

I cannot play DivX files. Whatever player I used I always get grey screen but the sound is there. Can someone please help me? Everything worked OK couple of days ago...

Try installing the Kristal 4.3.3 codec.

This didn't fix the problem. Still whenever I play DivX files i get a grey screen with sound...

Anyone? Help me please...

Hi,

If you didn't already, try to install the DivX v3.11 codec. This one works the best and should work.
Also, is it only DivX that won't play, or other files aswell ??

I tried all sorts of players but I always end up with grey screen. I got DivX v.311 codec installed, I tried re-installing but nothing. It happens to all DivX files, not just one...

Maybe your source file sucks? Have you tried playing something else?

[PowerWolf]

No, everything worked OK before I installed that little prog. called DivX plus that allows you to play DivX files through Hollywood + card... That prog. didnt work so I played DivX through BSPlayer and found out that I couldnt play DivX anymore (just grey screen and sound).

Are you sure the drivers for your video card are still intact? Maybe they got corrupted.

I tried uninstalling the drivers and then installing them again but no luck...this is a X-Files case

Grey screen, eh?
I fixed it a while ago. Open your movie-file with your windows media player (6.4 or later), right-click on the filename, chose properties, find the div-x tab or option, and slide the bars to for example 50. Somehow during installation the codec switched all brightness, colour etc to 0. Weird. Hope this works for you.
