Black screen on clicking an AVI

Has anybody else had an issue where if you right click an AVI or MPG the screen blanks out and goes black for a few seconds then returns back to normal displaying the right click functions?
Bottom line is right click works it just black screens for a few seconds first.
Just formatted my machine, reinstalled XP-PRO and loaded on the latest Nvidia drivers My Video card is only a FX5200

Yes, this has happened to me and my brother. with us it wa the same problem - we were using the wrong output on the graphics card. Do you have two? if so, switch them and see what happens. I use that same card, and i have my monitor connected into the DVI output (using an adapter), and soon as i switched back, hey presto.
faster, better, MORE!!
