For some reason, whenever I attempt to play a video file (both via the internet and DVD), my computer locks up and I have to restart it. I have new video drivers, and all of the latest XP patches and player software. Before I reformatted my computer, the video worked fine.

I've tried downloading codec packs and DiVX players with no successful results.

I'm running: Windows XP Home, with an ASUS motherboard. Nvidia fx 6600 (direct x 9 c), 1 GB DDR pc3200, 120 GB Hardrive.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

you could have other processes using lots of cpu whats your cpu usage before you use video

Ctrl...Alt...And..Delete check under performance tab

and When video Is freezing Whats cpu usage then

I got it to work by doing this: try installing this codec pack: [K-Lite Codec Pack] here make sure to move any other codecs you have before installing this. the installer should point out which codecs you all ready have anyways.
It worked, thanks anyways
