I've downloaded DivX following the link posted here in the past but I don't know what I'm supposed to do now? I've got 3 desktop icons for DivX player, DivX converter & DivX Movies - help! I need idiot proof instructions on how to use DivX with the game!

Maybe it helps with both. http://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/764103/Dead_Mountaineer_s_Hotel.html You could use the DiVX Player to play the .avi files outside of the game. According to this, Avast antivirus blocks DiVX http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2574180

According to this, Avast antivirus blocks DiVX http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2574180 Apparently installing DivX has helped the intro to play as well as rectifying the problem with the cursor for some players. The game will only work at all while connected to Steam & there's certainly no .avi files in the game folder which why I was asking what I needed to do! Installing DivX hasn't worked for me so far Winfrey & I don't have Avast anti-virus. Could it be that the game's incompatible with Win 7 64 bit?

Sure I can play them in the DivX player but it doesn't help me to play the game & I don't know how to use the DivX installation to do that & feel so frustrated that no-one here seems to be able to help!

Try to download and install the codecs from here- http://dist.divx.com/divx/codecpack/standalone/DivXInstaller.exe
