[joshuaindi169]

Instal a little program called GSpot from here:http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

Here´s a screenshot of the GSpot:http://galleries.vinyamar.com/ps/show.php?id=THLTCvRL6XnbDdjxFZl2043bW

or just do like this and it will work:

Uninstalled all DivX codecs and xvid codecs,(Nimo Pack etc.)
You can then install xvid codecs from here:
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html

Then install all DivX codecs separat (Not from Nimo).

After that install Nimo Pack but uncheck all divx codecs and the xvid codec and also uncheck a direct show filter which is Ffdshow DirectShow
Install Nimo from here:
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

Now all should work fine!

By the way,AC3 comes with the Nimo Pack and I installed this with
Nimo Pack Build 8,not the new Build 9

Test your system, see what missing, the file name will tell you what to install...
