Windows media player 6.4 problem ?

[hp32s]

Every time I play an avi file or a divx file WMP opens up saying 1. attempting codec download
2. connecting to 207.46.xxx.xxx
3. web site found, waiting for reply
4. unable to download codec decompressor

then it plays the file fine.

Is there anyway of stopping this? I have all the codecs I need so why does it try and download from microsoft every time I load an avi file? It is very annoying since it takes between 30sec and a minute each time.

This problem only started a week ago after I installed a new Divx 4 codec. I have sinced removed this codec but the problem still happens.

I think you need "The Playa" to play DivX 4 content. Try installing the 3.11alpha for now and see how that works for ya.
