I'm pretty sure I used to be able to open amv files, but can't anymore. When I search for this - there are so many to choose from. Tried one and was a hoax. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thankx!
 
you could right click the file. (open with) and look for a program to open. if you find one that is appropriate then check the box always use this program to open this type of file. if not there. there are free programs. goto google or where ever. query amvplayer.
 
tried this

Thanks, but this is what I first tried. The one I picked was a scam and hard to remove after insalled - probably still have traces of it that I don't know how to get rid of? And the other's I check out seem to be registry fixes. I already have System Mechanic 5 Pro and Registry Fist Aid Agent for that. Any other idea's? Thankx!
 
goto the security section on the forum. read the 1st post 1st then follow through with the instructions.

Firstly, thanks Wilson, but I have a registry fix and I did previously try this one and got an 'encountered error and needs to close' message at the final downloading stages?

So, Temmor, here's my highjack this log:

I removed and quarantined the 1 infection.

I have absolutely NO idea what any of this means....?????

Hope you can help - sure would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
 
Think it's a windows problem?

Thanks termor, I did this - left a query on the security forum. But, I think it is a windows problem. Did a thorough system scan and my computer itself and secuity seems to be good. Except I need to free up or expand my memory. There are other frequent issues I've been experiencing - all seems to be since I had problems with Nero Essentials and can't seem be able to remove all the traces. I tried the removal on the Nero sight, which helped some and removed some more files I otherwise couldn't. But, there's still traces there. I often get dwin.exe-application error 0xc0000142 and Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library errors. I'm almost tempted to dump the whole thing and reinstall my operating system?
 
Nero removal
go here: http://www.nero.com/enu/support-downloads.html

tool & utilities:

clean tool:

as far a memory errors i don't know.
goto start , run: msconfig
startup folder. (turn off all that crap you have running and don't need unless you double click it.)

goto run: %appdata% delete all occurrences of nero after uninstall if there.

I don't know about any infection (or not) but VLC Player can play pretty much any media file.
