Two things could be wrong:
1) You don't have DivX installed. Click the DivX link on the left sidebar of the main dmbtabs site (not the forums) to download the software, then install it.
2) You're on dialup/slow broadband and you don't have enough bandwidth to stream the movie (which xoosh says we shouldn't be doing anyway *slaps hand*), so instead, right-click the movie link, click "Save target as..." and save it somewhere on your hard drive (someplace you'll remember) and run it off there instead.

Either of these will almost certainly fix it. If not... :( Perhaps an update of WMP is in order?

k, what version of windows media player are you running (also, what version of windows do you have?)
what does wmp do when you try to play it? just show a black screen but appears to be playing a movie? black screen with sound or without sound? if there is sound is it choppy?, etc., etc...
