Installed the latest pack, and I'm using BSPlayer 1.0
Everything seemd to work till few days ago. Now the files can be opened but are not playing. The two icons (DirecVobSub and the other one like a movie) are both displayed.
Re-installed BSPlayer, also re-installed the OGG pack, but nothing works. 
Any ideas? please?

Which video are you trying to play?
You might consider trying a different player for a change, to see whether the problem is the player or a codec.

Thanx for your reply, Gambit.
Actually I did try using other players, MV2Player and WMP, both used to be able to play those files, even thought I've associated the .ogm files with BSPlayer. As I said no player seem to be able to play them anymore, which probably indicates the fact that something is wrong with the codec.
Any idea how I can remove the codec completely and then re-install?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

You might want to consider downloading the latest XviD (nic`s should be okay), since I think your version could be outdated and then it won`t work properly anymore.
And never install a pack with codecs (nimo? tsunami?), always install codecs yourself. A pack usually makes sure that there will be errors.
Best thing to do is to go to
http://www.divx-digest.com and check for softwarecodecs DivX 3.11, XviD (koeppi or nic, just check which is the newest) and a ffdshow. Although you might want to consider grabbing divx 5.xx as well. Install those after you`ve uninstalled the pack, that should help.
