http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...3.exe?download

i downloaded the DIVX player, but the screen comes up all messed up... I don't know why...

I would download a codec pack like nemo or Ac3. Then install divx and xvid (those are the two big ones). Do a search on google and you should be able to find everything.

You might just ask your friend what he compressed the video with if he was the one who made the files.

Look on google for the Kazaa Lite Codec Pack. It has DivX, Xvid and many many more.

And, don't get a codec pack. They can mess up your system.

lol muno, yer hilarious. Kazaa Lite Codec Pack doesn't have spyware but DivX from the site does; did you read the agreement?

After we decided to offer the professional-level DivX Pro to personal users for a fee, there was still a portion of our team that wanted to do better. And you can't do better than free. So we are offering a no cost, ad-supported version of DivX Pro. We made this happen through an association with the Gator Advertising and Information Network (GAIN).

See that. DivX from the official site installs the gator virus on your computer.
