    Scrambled Video Files on Playback

    Hi there...
    I'm new here, looks like a very informative and helpful site.

    My prob:
    Some of my video files (mpg, avi, asf) appear scrambled upon playback. Not all of these files are scrambled, and not all the time.
    Sometimes if a file won't play in WMP, it will play in RealPlayer. Then sometimes the SAME file will NOT play in RealPlayer if I try it again.
    My PC crashed a few months ago, and I was able to recover some of these files. So, at first, I thought they may have been damaged (alot were). But now NEW files are having the same prob. I'm no expert (obviously) but I have the feeling it is caused by something not being right in my system (codec or something maybe), so I uninstalled all my media players and codecs and reinstalled them. No dice. Same problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanx in advance, and it's nice to be here.
Working...
