try downloading and installing the klite mega codec pack. i have it working great on 64 bit 7100 bulit. here is the link. http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm i have been using it for years in vista. i love the media player classic that comes with it.

Have you tried running the setup file in Windows XP compatbility mode? This might fix the problem for UAC incompatible applications. Besides that you normally do not need to install the DivX codec on Windows 7, it is included in the OS.

Right click the install file and select "Run as administrator".

i did try all that i guess i didn't reset the pc after i did the changes in the UAC to not show them messages

HelloI had same problems when i tried to install some MSI files.My PC is member of a Domain and my user account is in the local Administrators group.But to solve that i had to right click the MSI Installer with Shift and Say Run as... then i pick the local User account created at startup, this helped.Maybe it will also help on your case...Just use the same account there as you are already logged in.Give me a feedback if this is working.BTW. I just installed now the divx player and it worked perfectly without problems.Did you also installed the google toolbar?Or which version of divx do you try to install?Regards:Dani
