I'd be very grateful for any advice on this problem. I'm pretty new to handling video and am experiencing strange behaviour from some files. After downloading videos - AVIs seem to be the ones causing trouble, although I haven't had many other formats - when trying to open them all the icons on the desktop crash, if I try to encode them using either WinAVI or DVD Santa converters it shuts the programs down, also if I send them to the Recycle Bin it won't let me into it once they're there. I don't appear to have any nasties on my system by the way, and everything else seems fine, it's only when I touch the videos. My system comprises: Gigabyte K8 Triton 754 board Athlon 64 3000+ 2 512MB PC2700 Elixir RAM sticks Geforce Ti 4200 128MB graphics card XP Pro SP2 Thanks very much.
You might just need a video codec. Other than that you got me. When files are in the recycle bin you cannot run them anyway.
Thanks. Regarding the recycle bin, I mean I can't open the bin itself, not the file inside, I have to use a shredder program to empty it, but it's only when there's a video file in it.
That's what I though initially, but it does the same with many different video files, plus I've checked and double checked for viruses and spyware and ran Registry Mechanic.
