Title: .avi file issues?!?
Post by: paladintrini on December 14, 2005, 05:34:54 AM
Hi All /ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />

I had gotten some help here before and have encountered another problem...so here goes!

On occasion I have downloaded .avi files (not sure what type), and generally what happens when I open them is that they open, start to run for a few seconds...then my system restarts. *Click* When I log back in a message saying "Windows has recovered from a serious error" comes up, and asks to send an error report.

This happens with most.avi files and not with any other media file. I'm using the K-Lite mega codec pack & opening them with Media Player classic. I know this isnt a critical problem, but its quite annoying, and I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.

If a hijackthis log is needed let me know
