AVI files freeze or crash my computer

[Sean]

Whenever I play an AVI file, it crashes or freezes my
computer. Does anyone know why this is happening? Even
when I convert to mpeg.... it will crash or freeze during
the conversion process.

Regards,
Sean.

Have you updated to the latest video drivers..?

AVI is just a container, what codec's are used?

I have the same problem as Sean. Even when I try to rename or delete the file (something.avi), as soon as I select it, my computer freezes. I've got all the updates done. Who's got an answer?
