Use VLC-Player http://www.videolan.org

VLC or Windows Media Player Classic should do the trick.

Unfortunately, no luck, again it froze though this time not as bad, i could still close it without having to restart my computer... Any other suggestions lol.

maybe ur computer is using too much resources, might be because of virus or something.

 

[czeldabolg]

Scanned with AVG Free, Spybot search and destroy => nothing, every time,

Out of curiousity did iTunes effect your computer in this way?

 

[mythonline]

i had this prob with windows media player, it did the same effect.
btw, did u gave it some time to start working? or u just closed it immediately?

 

[czeldabolg]

Yeh given it about 5mins before and its still been frozen/laggy. even when its closed it still laggs a little.. and are u myth off torozor? lol

 

[mythonline]

well, could it be that ur computer dont have enough resources to run the movie? was it 1 movie that did not work, or many?
p.s i never played torozor

 

[czeldabolg]

many unfortunately..

 

[mythonline]

well recently i had some sort of virus called key locked, its a virus that pretend to be antivirus, and u may download it when u download codecs from some sites, did u downloaded codecs from sites u dont know?
another thing, can u tell me what is the specs of ur computer, and what big programs runs on it when it starts? (for example firewall, antivirus, msn, emule ect)
and u can call microsoft to help you:
