To close the error message I have to click on OK ten times, and then I can
play the avi. But if I click on a different avi I have to go through the same
process again.
I believe its an Explorer problem because only when this has hasppened,
SOMETIMES if I try to shut down or re-boot the pc, I get an error message
saying:
Windows Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close.... I then
click ok, the desktop goes blank then everything comes back one by one
(icons, system tray,
taskbar etc) and only then can I shut down or re-boot as normal.
After Ive re-booted everythings ok until I click on an avi again, and then
its pot luck when it happens again. Sometimes I can go weeks with no
problems, or it could
be the next day or whenever.
I prefer Real Player over Windows Media Player to play avi,s.

Please help with this very annoying problem.
Thanks

Hey Stav,

downloaded and install the Combined Community Codec Pack
from http://www.cccp-project.net/. Everything appears to be working
fine. I can open folders with .avi files and view other .avi
files as thumbnail without getting a runtime error.

I took the above solution from this site
http://www.technologyquestions.com/t...-avi-file.html
by Bill.Canfield@gmail.com

Cheers

These lines of data that you are seeing (just above under my 'Snip') are
uuencoded data. The internet was originally designed for text. And
binary files like movies and executables contain non text characters.
In the old days like 1970's, uuencoding a binary file turned it into
lines of text like you are seeing. Then the user would send it, as its
only text now, and the receiver would uudecode it. uuencode and decode
were unix commands.
It was a horribly manual job. News readers etc are now designed to
just do this in the background IF the file/message is properly encoded
with markers to indicate the begin and end of the file.

This is not a fix for you, but more education.
Files that are very large cannot be put into one message so they are
broken into smaller parts and those parts have to be not only uudecoded
but reassembled.

Obviously something that is automated somehow to do all the decoding and
assembly etc etc, to get you a viable avi is not working. FYI. Good
luck.
