is this caused by servicepack 1?

I just realized that since I installed Servicepack 1, I cannot play certain divx-movies anymore. I checked the videcodecs, tried nimo-codec pack and tsunami, but neither of them did it. The files are not corrupted, since I can still play the on other computers.

Try mplayer2.exe in the Windows Media Player folder instead of WMP 8.

Have you tried reinstalling the Divx 5 Bundle (Player, Codec)?

the thing is, I think somewhere I read that servicepack1 for WindowsXP disables playback of movies with certain codecs.

Negative. I have XP SP1 and all codecs work, including DivX (both 3.11a and 5.02).

but I still can't figure out why only some of the movies are not working..I can't find a pattern. Not all of my divx movies are affected by this, only some.
