windows vista 64bit media player

I am having trouble playing a divx movie in media player 11 in the 64 bit vista media player I am able to get the sound to play but no video. But it does play dvds just fine.
I think i need a codec or something to play divx but can not find any the work with in 64bit media player I am using 5381 build thanks

Its most likely you will a native 64-bit codec to watch a specific format in the player, since Media Player 11 by default in Vista x64 build 5381, utilizes WMP 11 64-bit. You could naviagte to :\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player 32-bit and try playing the movie, see if it works then. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Until a 64-bit DivX codec is available, run 32-bit WMP from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player"

Just noticed this, I'll bug it, or maybe Mike Williams has answer or work around. I had to end the process. :( -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
