Grrrr, well i'm hacked off now.

just tried to watch a divx file, and was prompted to upgrade form v6.somthing to v7, fine i thoguth, not in any hurry.

Well the thing goes through the motions of upgradeing (this was all automated, no user input other than ok, accept EULA etc) all is well until i double click divx player and ''boink!' up pops windows error box 'missing such and such 32bit dll" :mad:

so uninstall the 'upgrade' and venture onto divx's website, where quite plainly at the bottom of the (non-auto-update) downlaod page it says vista -32bit only. Why on earth are they distributing 'upgrades' to those with 64bit OS's resulting in users losing the functionallity they had. Its not exactly secret information!

And i now cant play the file until i find another program.:mad:
And i've also lost my DivX 6 converter licence and will ahve to go about retreaving that too:mad:

And who in their right mind releases software 'upgrades' that are not 64bit compatible, when the previous version was? :confused::rolleyes:

/Rant

now to find a divx 6 installer somewhere...
unless anyone has got any better suggestions?
 
Who on earth uses the official DivX release and software?

Either get a decent set of codecs, FFDShow, or just use Media Player Classic/VLC.

Agreed, I use K-Lite Codec Pack for Vista, and the Shark007 Win7 Codec pack for Windows 7

K-Lite (for 64-bit) - here
Shark007's codec pack (supports Vista + Windows 7) - here
 
Why are you using DIVX PLAYER? that's the built in player./ The codec itself is very good.

install the codec ONLY (custom option during install, it is there) and play the video using WMP or MPC.
