OS: Windows XP.
all the videos over at Gamespot don't work for me anymore. Did I miss getting something new or is it a problem with the website? It happens on other sites too so imagine not.
I have Divx and up until now every thing worked fine.
Thanks.

Works fine from here...
More info on your browser internet connection OS what happened prior to this etc and someone should be along shortly...

I should have included more info but I was in a rush.
I use Mozilla Firefox, can't say what version but it's the latest one anyway.
more info on system:
Fujitsu Siemens intel (R)
Pentium (R) 4CPU 3.06 GhZ
960 mb rams.
protection: Windows firewall
Spy bot Search and destroy
Add Aware
AVG free
Spy ware blaster
Spy ware doctor
Norton
ccleaner
I use Broadband, I believe it's 300kb or around there.
prior to this I had a problem with my fan which has been fixed now, and a few not so dangerous viruses which seem to be gone now. Another thing I should have mentioned is that some, not all, of my stored videos that worked with Windows Media player have stopped working now too, while they do work with other video types - most notably real player and Creative Media Source player.
When I try run those vids that did work with Windows Media player now, I get an error message saying Direct Draw is not installed. But it is installed. I tried reinstalling DX9 from one of my game CDs and I was told it was already installed. I never go near any of that stuff so I don't believe I've made any changes to it either.

anyone?

I think the problem is with Media Player itself...to verify this DLoad and install VLC media player which is free and plays nearly anything.
This will tell us if WMP is indeed the culprit.
If VLC doesn't play them then the files are corrupted.
