Hi all, I really respect the people who use this forum, you are all so helpful, that being said, I can usually find help just by using the search option, this problem, however, is unusual. (+23 kissbutt pts) Ok, whenever I play an .Avi file on my computer, no matter if I use Real player or Windows Media player, my computer will reset. A total hard reboot of the machine follows me opening ANY .avi file on my box. DivX is installed, (latest version) and I can post my DxDiag if that would help diagnose the problem. Thanks for ANY replies. -Ruz
