DivX, Realplayer, and codecs

timepiececlockNow this is weird.
I was playing something on RealOnePlayer, which has worked well for me for a while now.
Then I installed Kazaa, and that accidentally gave me a different version of DivX than the one I had.
Then I got rid of Kazaa. But now RealOnePlayer won't play the same files. So I have to get an updated version of DivX. I get the R1P-suggested version of DivX 5.0.5.
Now I get picture, but no sound. And the Real One Player website says this is an error with my file.
But I know my file worked fine this morning.
I think I'm going to try to do that back-erase thing where I can reset all the programs in my computer to the way they were yesterday. I'll have to reinstall Kazaa-Lite, but I wasn't getting much out of it anyway.
EDIT: Dammit! I did the "Sytem Restore" thing, and it still says "Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format." It was playing this file this MORNING! And now it won't play sound for any of the other movie files that I downloaded from the same source. Fuck.
