I recently updated to the latest version of DivX and now every time I try to watch a video online with it, my browser becomes unresponsive and I have to use the task manager to close it.

I've looked for fixes, but most of them tell you to fix your proxy settings and I'm not running through a proxy. I did what it said to do anyway, but it didn't work. Could someone please tell me how to fix this?

Thanks!
 
This is how to fix it:

1) Open task manager, click Processes tab. Right click on DDMService.exe and end process.
2) Copy the following and then open a command prompt:

@ECHO OFF
rmdir /s /q "%USERPROFILE%\videos\divx movies\Temporary Downloaded Files"
del /q /s "%temp%\*"

REM Clear DDM Stuff
del /q /s "%APPDATA%\Local\Temp\DDM\Plugin\*"
del /q /s "%APPDATA%\Local\Temp\DDM\Settings\*"
del /q /s "%APPDATA%\Local\Temp\DDM\Settings\Tempo… Downloaded Files\*"
rmdir /s /q "%TEMP%\boost_interprocess"
rmdir /s /q "%LOCALAPPDATA%Low\boost_interprocess"

pause

3) Close all browser windows.
4) Paste the above commands into command prompt and press enter.
5) Enjoy the functional divx web player again.
 
I am having the exact same problem but the fix above doesn't work. Now anytime I try to access a divx video (web player) i get an error message stating the the video didn't finish loading. Any suggestions? I'm using Windows 7 and it looks likes I was denied access with the command prompt code.
 
I thought the fix didn't work for me too, but I checked my processes again and found one more DDMService process. That's probably what happened with you too. Fix worked great!

Hope it helps,

THANKS!!!

Worked for me! Can't thank you enough as this was very frustrating.
 
My browser is running 100x slower now after I did that "fix" :/
