    I downloaded a completed .avi file from a P2P program, but when i try to play it on Divx Player, it shows an error msg about the file, on WMPlayer, it shows a msg askin me to restart it n send a report to their company, RealOne Player also shows an error msg followed by an error on "MMSWITCH.AX".

    I already downloaded tons of codecs to make it work but it doesnt. i also re-downloaded the file, but it still wont work. The only program that the file worked on was in VirtualDub. I dont like using this over n over because the video lags at one point n i cant make it play in fullscreen. So please help me. I really dont know what to do next.

    i managed to fix the problems in RealOne, WMPlayer, and Divx. I just re-installed all of them as well as the codecs. The Xvid movies can now play on both RealOne and WMPlayer but not on Divx; how can i make it work on Divx Player? Coz most of my movie files run on that program and i kinda got used to it than on WMP.

    RealOne and WMP only has the problem about the MMSWITCH.AX when i play streamed files.
