try ffdshow http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDshow.htm The only thing it wont play is mkv files. Haali Media Splitter will play mkv files http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/
I hate codec packs and would never recommend them to anyone

The CCCP should play divx avi files just fine. Use the CCCP where it works, and use VLC media player in the VERY VERY RARE case that the CCCP fails. VLC isn't exactly a codec/codec pack, but you should stay away from those, as you have experienced, they screw things up.
Also, you do realize with the CCCP you must use Media Player Classic and not normal WMP correct? That may be where you're going wrong.

The CCCP includes FFDshow and Haali, and apparently isn't working for him for some reason.

well if you install CCCP and cant playback through WMP correctly whats the point of even installing it. I agree MPC is much better than WMP but alot of people still use WMP as their default player. Im not a fan of VLC but if you wanna avoid codecs altogether try Media Player Classic Home Cinema http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

vlc should do most every type of video format out there the only problems it has are with .mkv, but the video player that's rolled in with the cccp codec pack plays those fine.
so if you just want to play avi and divx get vlc media player.

The CCCP is Media Player Classic Home Cinema + more.

Notice the "MPC Home Cinema inside" logo
Because WMP is trash that's why, it isn't too hard to switch your default player, and if he must be picky and must use standard WMP, then he can have some more fun with K-lite....

Sigh. Yes, you can "playback through WMP correctly"... it doesn't work for him because he installed so many codec packs and it's a mess.
If he had listened when I said to wait and give more details instead of following misinformed advice, then he would have fixed it weeks ago.
But I'm not going to write something up to get ignored again, so I hope you have fun making ignorant statements and that he has fun following ignorant advice.
