If it won't play in Windows Media Player then you need to install Divx

Install, reboot, double-click the file and hey presto

Dave,

Loads of ways to do it, but I would suggest:

Start Media Player
Click Options, File Types
Check the box for Video File

Just check the boxes for the files you want to associate.
