Why can't I watch videos?

Hi,
I'm using WinXP Pro and I have a Radeon 8500. I'm having problems viewing videos (avi, mpg, etc) on my computer. Not only do they not play in Winamp 3, but they also do not work in Windows Media Player 8.0 Could it be that I need to re-install the Divx codec pack again??? btw.. divx is spyware infested =) just thought everyone should know.
