You may want to check out the GK faq's and upgrade to a later version. Or try other software such as Nandub, Virtualdub, etc... You can find good guides at vcdhelp.com, divx-digest.com, and doom9.

Hello Batman,
Thanks for your respons, but I tried a lot of different configuration
on my system and nothing worked...
In fact I would like to find somebody that used GKnot with WIN ME to compare my level software....
I'm stuck.

I've got an idea. Because Win Me sux=) you shuld switch to for example Win Xp that works much better. But if you want to keep Me (that I only had problem with when I had it) I'm afraid I can't help you if you got the latest of all the problems.

Windows ME is flawed. My recommendation would be to either "downgrade" to Win 98 or "upgrade" to 2000 or XP. Depending on your system. If you have a fairly old computer I would not upgrade to XP.

thanks batman,
I know that WIN ME is flawed but that 's irritates me that doesn't
works...I will test some other things before installing win 2000.
Thanks

There's nought wrong with Win ME.
I use it all the time for all my encoding without fail. I don't use G-Knot, so can't help you there, as I don't like them do it for you apps. I just use CladDVD, DVD2AVI (or FlaskMpeg Xis3.0e Expert Edition v2 what Xmpeg could have been) and Virtual Dub

In all the posts I've read and answered this is the first to mension probs with Win ME. All are mainly XP and 2k. If you want the most stable OS with the best compatabillity with 99% of apps use good old Win98SE.

XP is causing more posts than any other OS.

Hello ndb,
So could you tell which version of software did you used ?
Win ME version :
Codec version :
MpegLayer3 version :
Software that you install :
Because when I try to read a divx my PC crashed.
thanks for your help.
I will install win 2k if it's continue.....................

Yes mate

Win ME version : 4.90.3000

Codec version : DivX 4.12 with DiVX 3.11 installed over the top (or DivX 5 with 3.11 over the top, but not that keen on 5 at the mo) I always install 3.11 over the top which ever.

MpegLayer3 version : Fraunhofer MP3 Codec Pro

Software that you install : I stated the software I use for encoding above, but maybe you mean the player I use.

I use BSPlayer www.bsplayer.org

If you mean what software I have running with the OS:

Norton Utilities and Anti-Virus 2001, Zone Alarm pro (i.e. the one you pay for), Nero Burning Rom 5.5.x (what ever update is out).
Office 97 pro (old but I prefer it to 2k), PowerDVD 3.0, Ulead Photo Impact 5.0 and loads of DivX apps, but far to much to list.

One thing though I do not use any codec packs like nimo etc, I jus install what I need when I need it.

Enough info for you or would you like to know all my systems

Great man great,
AS I'm fed up to crashed my pc I think I will try this we to install WIN98SE, I hope It's works better after.
Because I use the same software than you (codec....) and I can't read this f... divx.
Did you know where I can found Norton (without paied....) ?
He He
So thanks for your good help, if you need somethink mail me ==>
