I have the same problem,
downloaded Direct Show Filter manager as you suggested and restored the directX codecs but nothing changed.
The problem happens with the abilities window, when I select an ability (and it's video should appear)it opens another window (Activemovie window) and the game crashes.
I surely meet the system requirements with an i5 Processor and a NVidia GeForce 9800GT. I tried to run on low quality but with different settings and resolutions the problem persists.
The problems happened with "Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga", but when I played (last year) "Divinity II: Ego Draconis" with the same PC all worked fine.
Can you help me?
