before installing SP2 I was able to play all my movie files but since xp sp2 was installed I couldnt play some of my movie files as it would freez (Not Responding) and make me re start the PC.

So it's definitely a codec issue...

Sounds like a SP2 issue

i already have FFDSHOW installed. do u think uninstalling all other codecs as well as FFDSHOW then reinstall FFDSHOW but no other codecs?

All you need is FDDSHOW and the AC3 -- if you've got more than that then its because you have specific requirements and generally know what ur doing (i.e., en/trans-coding ... because FDDSHOW is still terrible for encodes)

Ffdshow can handle several video formats, so theoretically there's no need for other codecs.

It is important to note that it only applies to playback conditions
