Hi all, first of all, im not sure im posting in the right place so apologies in advance. well, the thing is, when i try to play video clips or movie files (with avi extensions) on my laptop, they play for a while but then i get a blue screen/abnormal termination error. I first thought this was a software problem so i got all the codecs (nimo codec pack/DIVX player). But the Problem remained! so i updated Windows, and all my hardware drivers. but alas no luck! My Specs are: Sharp PC-GP10-CH Laptop Windows XP 1.2GHz AMD Athlon 512MB RAM Matsh*ta DVD/CD-R Combo S3 Twister K + Hotkey Graphics Card AC97 Onboard Sound

Did you get these files from a P2P server or some other unkown place like that? They could simply be bad files.
Have you tried playing them in other programs?
