            I think you're confusing between DirectX and DivX. Those two ARE NOT the same!

            DirectX 8.1. The only thing you need to do is decide which version of DirectX for which version of Windows you are using to download. And what do you mean by the last statement? 'Loaded DivX and found out about directx thing'?

              The read me for divxx ...load says divx player requires the minimum windows98se etc....
              You must also have Directx version 3.0 or later installed for the Divx Player to operate properly. then tells you where to ....load it. Thats what i mean . So i've also ....loaded a movie off Kazaa and the divx won't play it . And when i click the icon for divx it tells me it's an illegal action.

                Just doubleclick on the DirectX file that you've downloaded - it will install itself automatically. Then reboot your computer. Then try to play your DivX-compressed .AVI video...

                      You don't just download it. You need to install it. As I stated in your other thread, you need to make sure that you have got DivX codec installed in your system as well. Download the DIvX installer file and DOUBLE-CLICK on it and follow the instructions that will appear.

                              Think you should concentrate on one of your own threads only. That way, everyone can see the whole picture of your problem there.
