I have a weird problem. I have W2k, SP4 and as far as I know it is up to date.
When I try to play a video file(avi, mpg, doesn't matter) the computer locks up so I have
to press resset and reboot. It happens in all the players I have tried. WMP, VLC, Real, Winamp, Nero, and Divx.
Any suggestions? I tried a complete reinstall of W2K and it still does it. That leads me
to think it's a hardware or driver problem. But what?
