The latest Divx 7 + Mac OS 10.5.8 ? DOESN'T WORK! At least for me...

Question

I already posted this on DIVX LABS, without getting ANY help, also on Macrumors, without getting ANY help.... no I hope you guys here can help me
Hello,
I hope somebody can help me here since I didn't find help on that topic somewhere....
I downloaded the latest Divx, installed it and when I try to open it it crashes without really starting up and a text message appears:
"The Application "Divx Player" was unexpectedly closes" Mac Osx and other Programs are not effected." (I have a german version of Leopard so I somehow tried to translate it but Im sure the most of you are aware of that text)
When I try to watch a video in the web with the divx web player, it doesn't work, too.
The web player doesn't open either!!! And thats the most important thing why I need DIVX for me!
Because as long as I have the Codec I can watch DIVX Videos still with QUICK TIME but watching a WEB video doesn'T work!
I tried so many things, deleting, reinstalling, deleting , redownload, reinstalling
deleting it with PACIFIST (an app that locates all files on the hard drive that were installed), redownloading and reinstalling. Nothing helps.
If it helps someone this is what the Bug report says when I open DIVX and it crashes:

Seems like the clue is in the end of that bug report but I really have NO idea.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT ON THIS!
THANKS!
P.S: Ah yeah and what I forgot: It used to work. But then I upgraded my Mac to 10.6 and because my Mac was too slow with 10.6 i did a fresh install of 10.5 . I Updated it to 10.5.8 and from here the problem begins. It DOESN'T work.

HI
First: thanks thanks and thanks for your quick respond.
I already have Perian.
I'm actually a little bit confused: So my situation is now: I have Perian and I have Divx installed. I had Perian installed before I installed Divx.
No what are my steps? Do I have to remove all files related to the DIVX package and download just the web player again and install it?
Or do I just have to delete the files in Library/Quicktimes related to DIVX and then download the web player and install it?
Thank you in advance

P.S. The problem is when I try to remove DIVX DECODER.Component and DIVX ENCODER.Component it always says: This file is in use right now and cannot be deleted.
