Having problems when playing back divx3 movies in WMP. Im getting a gray screen with the correct audio playing in the background. If i load the movie into Nandub, it playbacks perfect. I've checked and made sure that my video settings under WMP is reset back to the default. Tried reinstalling the codec and divx4 movies playback fine under WMP. I've installed the ac3 audio filters under Win2k and not sure if this is what could be causing the gray screen, and I think is just purely coincidental. This is only affecting divx3 movies btw.

Are you using a low-tech computer? If so (let's say processor ca. 350MHz, or so), then you should perhaps move the CPU slider in the DivX 3.11 settings all the way to the left. Open the video with WMP 6.4 (not 7), go to File > Properties > Details > advanced tab, get to the DVD Mpeg-4 Decompressor settings window and tweak accordingly.
