Hi guys,
After following all your advices, after investing several hours trying to
figurate out why i can't play any videos on my pc. I decide to install
Vista Beta in the second partition (I have a IDE HDD). (I have not
reinstall windows yet because the XP and office licences I have are from
my old Dell Dimension 2400, When I installed them in my new pc i had to
call microsoft; it was kind of a pain to get the authorization codes)
well, as I was saying, I installed Vista just to see if it was a hardware
problem . . . . i CAN play any movie, games, etc. so, it is definitely a
XP SP2 software problem.
I was thinking to uninstall everything (even sp2 and updates) keeping only
XP, office and my antivirus (AGV Free Home edition) and firewall (zone
Alarm)

something funny to add about my "case" After i start to try to play a
movie or video the pc (XP-SP2) slows down but not freezes, the cpu is at
70-80% and still i have plenty of free memory. if I don't do anything to
my pc it starts to play the movie's sound afyer 10 - 15 min. but not
video, just a black screen instead of the actual video; the pc returns to
its normal behavior and i can close the movie player windows without a
problem.

thanks guys

Hi
There is just one thing I would like you to try:
If your version of XP/SP2 has .NET Framework 1 installed,
follow this procedure to either remove or repair.
