Windows Media Player 9 is screwed up. Please help

Recently I have been trying to view content that is viewable only with WM 9. Unfortuneately, it doesn’t load, pressing any of the buttons does nothing, and wm just remains blank. I am running a firewall (Sygate). The most recent example of this is here: http://media.ehacked.com/?cat=cool&v=mouse_trap and I was not able to watch the movie. Could someone please help?

i didnt have a problem with it
maybe try turning off the firewall

Do you have the DivX codec installed?

Kaotic: I tried that - didn’t work.

Kirupa: No, I don’t. Where would I find it?

I am having the same problems. I can hear the audio strem but cannot see video. I just downloaded DIVX5.1.1 and it still doesnt work?
