First of all I would recommend you uninstall NIMO and instead install either the xvid codec or ffdshow. Also, use a decent player such as BSPLAYER or WMP 6.4
Secondly, if that fails to work try this. Using avi4cc changer change the 4cc code to dx50 (You must have divx 5.02 installed). -
i use bsplayer, and where can i get the xvid codec alone?Comment
-
i downloaded divx total pack and it worked thx anywayComment

Then apparently the file you had trouble with was actually a divx file not an xvid file.Comment
-
it was xvid. xvid was included i n the divx total pack. im guessign possibly a different xvid codec?Comment

What i the divx total pack?If you downloaded the divx pack from DIVX.COM it does not contain the XVID Codec. Yes, divx and xvid are two seperate codecs.Comment

Easy fix for Xvid Green Screen w/Blocks or Playing Well w/ no audio
Many people seem to be having this same problem as I once did:
Green screen in Windows Media Player with scattered weird blocks.
Often if you fix this problem you get no audio. Here is an easy way to have both high quality Xvid video and audio (wow! what a concept)
If you have Nimo codec pack installed, uninstall it completely, as well as any other divx/xvid codecs listed in Add/Remove programs. I am not saying Nimo is crap, but it screwed up my computer. I am sure there are very good codecs included in the pack, but it seems unstable.
Download and install the 3ivx codec from http://www.3ivx.com/download/index.html . I have found that their website is down sometimes, so if you get an error, just try them again a little while later.
Now you should have video.
If you still don't have audio go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ac3filter/ , click on Download and download the exe version of the latest build (should be the top one). When you install this AC3 audio decoder, your audio should work.
Some files, however use Ogg Vorbis encoding for the audio, in that case install the Ogg decoder from http://www.divx-ac3.com/ .
At least all of this fixed it on my WinXP machine.
Also, if this message helps you fix the problem, please cut and paste this fix to every message board you know of where people are having this problem. Maybe we can put an end to it once and for all.
