Is there a certain kind of virus/adware that *knows* when you're running a virus scan? I swear, every damn time I run my virus scan or adware scan, my computer shuts down. WITHOUT FAIL. Should I take it in to be looked at?

Sorry that you couldn't get Windows Media Player to work, Syba. It sounds like the installation of it somehow got corrupted, and even with the new version you downloaded, it doesn't sound like it was fixed.

When I Googled the extension info you provided, it seems like most of them come up with .avi at the end, which normally should be supported by WMP, but it sounds like your installation is FUBAR'd. Ugh.

On the other hand, I'm glad the VLC player worked! I, too, hate downloading more applications than what I need, but also like you, I had vids I just couldn't play with anything else.
