runescapeloser22 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 So basically, every time I try to play a video file (doesn't matter what file type) in any program (I've tried Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime), my computer completely freezes and I have to turn it off and on again. Then when it turns back on, Active Desktop Recovery is on and I have to reset my Windows Theme. I am running Windows XP Black edition, and just installed it about 2-3 weeks ago. This problem started happening last week, and is really getting annoying because I need to watch Lost :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jernlov Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Windows XP: Botnet Edition. Pirating an OS is already a stupid thing to do, but pirating one that has been so obviously modified is asking for trouble. I would strongly advise doing what Nyosuht said and reinstalling from an official Microsoft disc. Not only does this eliminate most potential stability issues, it will also assure you that you're not a part of any botnet. Never trust anything unofficial.

Deathmath Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Here's................ Botnet Probably something with the video card and incompatibility.
