Computer Freezes

[Elidicious]

Hi.
There are some folders (video files) that make my computer freeze.
Why is that? I checked for viruses, it says none. Why it happens? Wherever I transport those files, they freeze that folder and the whole computer.
What does it mean?
How can I get rid of that?

Elly.

Hello,

Are some of the files incomplete? Have you played all of them so that you are certain that none is corrupted?

You might try opening some folder, setting its display to icons only, and then opening Folder Options under Tools and setting all folders to be like that one (under the View tab) so that thumbnails are not displayed.

Then, see if you can open the video folder. If you can, you will need to do some detective work to find out if one file is corrupted, such as by dividing them into smaller folders and setting the thumbnail view so that you know which folder has the bad file. Or by just seeing if they all play correctly.

Also, downloaded the latest codec pack which you have, this has been known to happen with outdated packs.
Goodluck
