I have just bought a new laptop with XP and i have a number of films on disc that i ripped and encoded from DVDs last year.

When i tried to play them i got the message that the AVI 'is not a valid win32 application'. Does anyone know why?

I have ripped using smartripper, encoded with Divx2.0, and some films copied onto CD using VCD easy while others were converted into AVI films (using Divx and telling it to make my films into AVI instead of MPEG) and then burning onto CD using NERO. When prompted for a codec i chose the DIVX codec 4.02 from the codec list.

I have a feeling that I may have caused a problem by installing POWERDVD (i always liked powerdvd) and overriding the default media/dvd player settings because when I choose the 'OPEN WITH' option to open the films, the icon for POWERDvD is not the one it should be, and is the default icon which suggests there might be something wrong with the program. However, the films still wouldnt play with the default dvd player that came with the machine, and gave the same error message. Maybe I am way off the mark!!

It will still play DVDS ok but just doesnt seem to recognise these AVI files that I have produced. I have tried installing the DIVX 4.02 codec as thats the one i used to compress for the AVI files that I produced, but this has had little effect. No idea where to go on this one!! Suggestions please...

Thanks in advance. Pete
