I just downloaded and installed the VLC player.
Started the avi file and it played for approximately 2 minutes. The
screen resolution then changed - it appeared to elongate vertically.
About 2 minutes later, the screen went to a white background with
vertical, jagged blue lines. The audio continued as described in
earlier posts. I could not find a work-around so I had to turn off
the computer.
=====================================
VLC normally plays anything you load into it.

Sounds serious...have you encountered any other
issues of this type? I don't know what the problem
is but I wonder if you might have a hardware issue
with your Video Card.

You said your video driver was up to date...did you
download it from the Nvidia site? They show version
182.65 released on May 4, 2009.
