Whenever trying to play avi files my computer freezes and I need to reboot. I checked the files with GSpot and it reports that all the necessary files are available. I’ve tried to use media player and also BSPlayer but get the same result. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Thanks

This is weird but it has worked for me!

Move all your video files from NTFS to a FAT 32.

It’s seems that Windows XP read ahead on NTFS partition an in my case, cause the computer to
reset Xp had access to LENGTH info.

Hope it helps! let me know!

I was having the same problem, I tried fixing codec, but it turn out to be NVIDIA’s latest video graphic driver v.56.72 for FX 5200 . My problem was fixed by using previouly working v52.16.
If your box was working before and this just happened, try to recall what was the progrems, drivers recently installed.

I decided to post this reply since I believe other FX 5200 owners might have the same porblem with new faulty version. This problem costed me 4 days worth of inconvenience. I am planing to report this problem to NVIDIA site.
I hope my post helpful. Bomyo.òó.

I’m using a radeon 9200 video card. Don’t know much about computers and how shit works but I’ve been having a problem with video playback. No matter what file i’m playing my computer will freeze. There is no specific pattern, sometimes it works fine sometimes not. I’ve tried playing back with different players and the problem still exists. HELP!!!!!!!!!

First reinstall DirectX and after that a new driver from your manufacturer site in this case nVidia or ATI. If no luck download a registry cleaner and use it. If no luck again can be a codec problem so download the Sherlock the codec detective and find out. Also can be a MPEG Decoder and this is a part of some softwares like Power DVD or some codec pack.A decent codec collection is All in One pack,DivX, Xvid, and XP codec pack and AC3 filter for sound. Stay away from mega packs is too much stuff on them. VLC is a good player so use it. http://www.free-codecs.com/

Make sure have the newest version about divx or xvid codec.And I think the k-lite codec is not a bad choice.

I just purchased a Gainward Bliss 7800gs+ 512mb GL AGP and whenever i try to watch a video file my computer freezes.
i have tried 3 different drivers along with with the latest directx 9.0c. Still freezes. When i check out on wat bus its on, its says PCI slot 1 or something. Maybe i have to go into my bios and change the bus... to agp? need help.
I run it on a Asus P4C 800 deluxe motherboard.
and power supply is 400watts.

This is a tip from nVidia: Driver Installation Hints

* “Download Accelerator” utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.

* Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

* Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for “NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers” or “NVIDIA Display Drivers” and select remove.
