When you download the Divx Codec, you should get something called the divx player. Try to play the video from that app. instead of WMP.

Have you uncompressed the video file? Make sure you do that, and then, save the actual video to your Divx Movie folder, for some reason Divx wont let you go into any subfolders when trying to look for a video. It tries to play an acutual folder, weird. But all you have to do is,

1.] Find Divx Movie folder (should be on desktop if you made a shortcut)

2.]Find your ACTUAL VIDEO and move or copy it to the Divx Movie folder.

3.] Start up the Divx movie player and then look for a button that looks like an eject symbol, press that and then locate your Divx movie folder and it should start.

If that dosent work, then Im sorry, Im pretty much at of my realm at this point. Im sure that the mods gets this alot, they will probably help out.

since many of the tutorials were made with Camtasia, try installing the ensharpen code native to Camtasia: https://www.techsmith.com/download/ensharpendefault.asp

Try downloading and installing the TSCC codec.Some of these tutorials are made with that kind of a video capture codec.

Hmm, maybe this whole problem with the tutorials was actually with your media player. Hmm, maybe do a help search, you should be able to find something on it on google or the help database for WMP.
