Re: Freeze when trying to play video files

If you install the wrong codecs...some funky things can happen.

I would try uninstalling the codecs and seeing if I could play a video I know to be safe...if that doesn't work, and you have your Windows XP CD...try uninstalling and reinstalling the media player.

If that still doesn't work...you might have a hardware issue.
