he error
message in front of it


I have tryed turning the DEP off but that has no effect and no viruses
are present on the pc thank you for your help.
=======================================
Not a solution ...just a couple of ideas.....

The following article may be useful for disabling DEP:

Sounds like the .avi may be corrupted in some way.

It may be worth a try to import it into Super and resave
it in the .avi format...maybe by some miracle the new
file will work.
