    Well just a guess
    but have you tried to play the movie
    with the divx player or are you using
    wmp
    Also you could try to change your screen
    resolution to 800x600

    Be aware that some people by accident but mostly on purpose (same reasons as a virus writer, vandalism) rename mp3 etc to .avi and mpg.

    If it is all files then you have the problem you are working on now.

    A specfic file, then it may not be a true .avi or .mpg. If a specfic file try to find it from a different source.
