Nearly everytime I play a divx (.avi) file the player crashes.
I get an ddhelp "illegal operation" error and the player freezes.
This happens with zoom/windvd/wmp7 and every other player u can think of!
If I try to open virtual dub after the error occurs (before restarting) it crashes on opening.
It is not down to dodgy .avi files as I can check them first with virtual dub.
I can encode them to vcd/svcd no trouble but it would be nice to preview these files in the divx format.
I have tried tsunami and sld codec packs with no change.
Is ddhelp a direct draw error message?
Is this the key?
I have changed my graphic card since the error first occured but its there with the new one as well.
dxdiag reports no probs.
Running win 98.
