Author Topic: AVI files problem (Read 33806 times)

Hi Broni,

Managed to download XP codec file this morning OK – but has not made any difference to AVI Problem.

With regards to “Quote” (installed “Windows Media Player 11”) I was talking to my Word/Access/Excel teacher at Night College, about this problem and told me it would over-ride any conflict issues. It was a plain disc. Only used it over Xmas hols. Problem started long before then.

Thanks

Belvin

I'm out of options. Reinstall Windows over the top?

Hi Broni,

Took your advice and completely rebooted Windows, allowing it to delete all programmes. Checked an AVI file, and at moment problem seems to be solved.

But, when I tried to open Windows MovieMaker, which was installed by the Windows start-up disc, it will not open. Downloaded latest version from Microsoft, and still will not open.

Message reads "Windows Movie Maker cannot be used because the required audio hardware cannot be found on your computer"

Can you help and advise what has gone wrong now, please?

Thanks in advance

Belvin

Hi Broni,

Now I have had time to check properly - I still have exactly the same problems with AVI files. WMV or MPG are not affected.

But now I am in a worse position, because besides Windows Moviemaker not working, I tried to re-install my Windows XP Office disc, and the computer kept freezing. I then tried to instal my Lexmark printer from disc, and the programme goes a little way and then freezes.

I really hope you can help me here, because I do not know what is happening here, or what to do about it.

Thanks in advance

Have you considered the possibility that your CD/DVD drive itself is failing ? ?
To test this install it in another working machine and see...

Hi Patio,

Don,t think that it can be that, as I burned two DVDs today perfectly. I think something nasty & clever has invaded my computer. Too many different problems now. Just do not know what to do about it.

Thanks

Hi Broni,

I have noticed that since I rebooted my system, and trying to find out what is still wrong - I went into Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager, and that two of the headings are in a "yellow question mark" mode. They are entitled Multimedia Controller & Raid Controller.

Would this have anything to do with the AVI problems etc. I have still got, and if they are, what can I do about them?

Thanks in advance

Multimedia Controller, possible influence. Usually it concerns your audio device.
Under what section in Device Manager is it listed? Unknown devices?
Is your sound device listed OK?

belvin · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2008, 04:15:13 AM »

Hi Broni, Good Day to you.

The two files are listed under "Other Devices" Not sure which is my "Sound Device" but, everything else seems OK.

May I add this - When I last rebooted, I allowed my machine to wipe off every AVI file. I then went on to the Internet and downloaded a small file which was in both WMV and AVI formats. There was no problem with the WMV file, but there was with the AVI file, and it did not want to allow me to delete it either.

Thanks

Let's find out about your computer configuration.
What's the make, and model of it?

belvin · « **Reply #25 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:55:06 PM »

Hi Broni,

I went down to my local computer shop at the time, and they asked me what I was going to use the computer for.

I said I was not interested in games, but I wanted it for downloading music, films and the Internet in generalso they built me this machine

From what I can work out, I have the following components installed

Power supply. It is either 300 or 400 - not sure which, or where to find information

Motherboard - ASUS K8V-MX X Series

Processor - AMD Sempron (tm) processor 2800+

Memory - 1.60 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM Physical Adddress Extension

DVD/CD-R - ( _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A )

C Drive - Maxtor 4D040H2

D Drive - Maxtor 6Y080L0

Medion 500 GB External Hard Disk Drive - bought this 4 weeks ago, just in case of possible crash

I know that there is a video capture card inside, because I wanted to save all the family video films to DVD, which I did do as they are now safe on the external hard drive, before they became to eroded by usage, but I don't know where to find out the information on this is. My Windows installation disc is a legal one

Windows - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2

Monitor, keyboard and mouse

I am really appreciating your help Broni, because where I am living there is no one else I can ask. Went looking on the Internet for help, and found Computerhope

Again, many thanks. If you need any more information, please tell me where to look, or how to find it, and I'll do my best

You're welcome.
Let's find out little bit more, so we can straight out those two Device Manager error entries.

When you open it, go Report>Quick Report>Plain text, and paste it back here. You may omit everything starting from Debug - PCI, and below.

Hi Broni,

I think this is what you and meant and wanted. Unfortunately there is too much information before it comes to "Debug - PCI"

So I am breaking it down into segments to be able to post it. Looks like it is going to take about 10 posts I think
