Hi i don't know how, but now i can't start up my divx player because some message tells me my 30 day trial has expired and i have to purchase or register at www.yourproduct.com, so i go there and the site doesn't even exist! so if i want to use divx player i have to reinstall it!!

does anyone here know the solution!? thanks

You're not screwed. You just downloaded DivX pro the non-shareware version. When you're on the DivX page you'll see two main options for downloading DivX. The first being the free trial version that you have to buy after the trial is over, and the second being the shareware version. I wouldn't suggest downloading either of those. Instead scroll down the page a little farther and you should see the option to download the basic DivX codec. I would get that one. It has no spyware and it's absolutely free. Don't worry that it's not the pro version because truth be told unless you're making DivX movies yourself you don't need the pro version.

If that doesn't work, make sure that the player version you download is shareware or freeware. Don't download it if it says it's a free trial version because you have to pay for them eventually to make them work again.
