hi there...

thank you very much for your help.i found the site you referred me to and i downloaded the file divx3.11_alpha.zip...but i can't figure out how to install it. might you be able to help me? i'm sorry for all the bother. thank you again...marylyn
You were right about downloading "divx3.11_alpha.zip", this is what you need. To install it, simply decompress the archive in a given folder and then double click on
"Register_DivX.exe". The codec will now be installed and you should now be able to watch mpeg4 movies with Windows Media Player.

But the first time I tried using it I got no video. I wondr if there's anyone out thee who could try sending me some video through it to see if it's my NetMeeting set-up or something else?
