DiVX avi file won't play

[ukmbond007]

Hi,

I recently downloaded a avi file which required the DiVX codec. When I played it in Windows Media Player 10 it came up with an error message stating that I needed one or more codecs to play it. I used a program called AVIcodec to check which codecs I needed and it said that I have all the relevent codecs to play the file. However, even after updating both the Video and audio codec it still won't play. Am I missing something.
