Drag the divx 5.component file out of the Quicktime folder in the user's Library. That should clear it up.

Well what do you know...!?
I have (had) that problem, too. Removing that file seems to do the trick.

See, you learn something every day.

Hmm, why does that fix the problem?

There's a bug (as far as I can tell) in the divx plugin for QT.

Thank you, that worked.
I can't even tell you thank you enough times.
That has been driving me freak'n crazy!!

I'm impressed - however did you find this out

DivX 5 does not support Mac OS X 10.4 or QuickTime 7. We are working with Apple to resolve several compatibility issues.

Wish they would hurry up

Toast 7 Titanium includes the new DivX. It's cleared up the double Help menu under QuickTime for sure, and I haven't seen any arrows in my screensaver.
