Ryokotsusai -> Videos are the death of me (well my comp anyway) (4/24/2006 20:44:28) Hi, I am running XP Pro with the latest service pack, and most of the latest updates, but for some reason, just recently i have been unable to watch any video files... when i try and open any type of video my comp lags out incredibly and either requires a forced restart (i.e. pulling the plug) or patience and 30min free time to open the task manager and kill the video player... is there a raison for this that anybody knows of?

treetopsranch -> RE: Videos are the death of me (well my comp anyway) (4/25/2006 23:01:18) Yes, if you installed this critical update (MS06-015) it will affect your video playback. It will be broken! Especially if you have the following: Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software, Sunbelt's Kerio Personal Firewall and some NVIDIA Drivers. You can go here http://osnn.net/ to get the story and what MS is going to do about it. Edited 4/28/2006 to note that the story and MS's solution has been removed from that web site.

Ryokotsusai -> RE: Videos are the death of me (well my comp anyway) (4/26/2006 1:00:42) thanks for the reply, I have an NVIDIA graphics card that required me to install more than a few drivers and sinister sounding programs [&:] (knew they would be trouble hehe)...
