Try reading some of the other several 1000 posts on this subject there are
in this newsgroup. This question is asked dozens of times every single
day...

What you probably need is the DiVX codec, which is NOT a Microsoft codec and
therefore not available from their codec server. Go to www.divx.com and
download the latest version (there is a FREE version without spyware at the
bottom of the download page, seperate from the other 3 download options.
You don't need the player, just the codec itself.
