You need to download DivX codec which will play this file.
Search for this codec at www.google.com and install after
downloading.

You should download Nimo codec pack which has nearly
every video and audio codec available. The codec you need
may not be the Divx codec it could somthing like xvid.
Just do a search in yahoo for Nimo.

which wmp does not play unless you have a dvd player software

Wow. You could tell that from his post. Sorry, but you have no idea
what you are talking about. There are dozens of codecs used, and
since some of the DIVX codecs are buggy, anyone taking your advice is
putting themselves at risk for system corruption.

The OP should first tell us about the movie, the file extension, what
codec it expects and so on. There are tools to determine what codec
you need. One such tool is located at
http://www.moviecodec.com/download/tools.shtml

You can also simply right-click a file, choose properties and then
select the summary tab. You can then sometimes view the fourcc
information you need, and then download the codec at
http://www.moviecodec.com/codecdownload/

Nobody should just download codecs from anywhere without making sure
the codec is safe.
