No help, I did download another program made in VB 6 (according to the
page where I got it from anyway) and it was noticably better than
WMP6.4/7, I've heard that WMP8 (beta sofar) is supposed to be better at
playing DivX movies, but I'll try PowerDVD 2.5 first and see what I
get. Some movies (or rather one - Dogma) played very well on my K6-2 400,
but many others are really bad - I did get it up to about 20fps after
reducing sound quality to the worst I could :(

Hmm... I better get me an even faster CPU then a 650 then (800 perhaps?)

Actually I think it comes with RealPlayer since I have it on two machines
at home and none is running WinME.
