- Download the tsunami codec pack from the link in my signature.
- Play the files in WMP classic.

Thnx 4 ur suggestions heres the info u wanted
The whole computer freezes meaning I have to restart it. I am using a Sony VIAO laptop with these specs:
AMD 1100
256Mb RAM
64Kb Cache
Should easily be able to run any AVI file, can't figure out why it keep crashing. Have already got the Tsunami Filter Pack and tried closing everything else down, still don't work

try rebuilding the index of the file in "divfix"
I don't think that it has a problem with memory because I had a couple of months ago 256mb and every thing played fineComment

DivFix won't do anything to help him at this moment if he says all of his files are doing this. It is a windows error of some sort. Some kind of corruption in some part of the system filesComment
