Divx Codec


The Cats Meow

Question

Sometimes when I am using VideoWave, and read in an AVI file, I get a Not Responding and Windows will close this application.

A pop up window appears saying that it is a problem with DivX Codec and that there is no resolve as yet for this error.

They do tell you to go to their website for more info.

I did and saw in their list of fixes something for my problem. That is, I thought it was a fix for me.

Turns out that it made it worse. I could not read any AVI files after installing the Fix.

So, I had to uninstall Roxio with that long terrible procedure and then reinstall it to fix it.

 

So, what I am left with is that same error that pops up sometimes saying that DivX codec is the cause, but not resolved as yet.

 

Anyone know of this problem with DivX?

 

From now on before I do any thing related to Roxio, I create a System Restore Point so that I can always go back instead of having to do that

ridiculous lengthy uninstall and reinstall process.

 

I have in Windows\System32\

 

DivXDec.ax

 

All my DivX .ax have capital D and X.

I don't think any of this is going to be solved until he can get past the installer and get 9.1 installed properly, and that problem should be solved first.

Thanks much Brendon for the info.

Not sure if it will help your problem but other than what tbrewst suggested, you might want to make sure you have the update to 9.1 which helped a few problems in Vista.

 

No, I cannot install 9.1. That is what caused my first problem. After installing 9.1, I could not even use Creator 9. It would not even start up or it would crash.

I contacted Roxio via Chat and they came me the instructions to uninstall and reinstall 9. They told me not to install 9.1 if I do not have to.

Wonder why they told you not to install 9.1 in Vista????? That's what the update was made for. Did you try what was mentioned by tbrewst yet?
