Problem with a film on the PC

[g4ry13]

PLease help, i've acquired a film on the computer. When i go to play it, i get the first 5 seconds with the image, and then the image freezes, but the sound continues. It says something like it's a divx file and .avi. I've got a codec and Divx 5.05 i think that's the version.

What could be the problem??

Please don't tell me i have to re-acquire the film

Appreciate the replies.
Thanks Gary

if u havent done so perhaps you should consider downloading either Nimo Codec pack or K-Lite Codec pack..just to rule out divx's and stuff first..

other than that check that your DVD player (in device manager) has the DMA tab checked in its properties tab.
