First off, I don't know if this is a hardware problem or not.. so I'm posting it here. Me and a good friend of mine have been sending each other videos of new songs we learned on guitar or whatever via AIM since christmas of last year. Everything worked fine, all the videos he sent were fine. I decided to reformat a while back, so I backed everything up on an external harddrive and reformatted. When I was done, I put everything back on my harddrive just as it was before. Since then, everytime I open my "My Video" folder -- where I saved the videos, I get an error about "Data Execution Prevention" "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program." The only button you can click is Close, and then it just comes up to send an error report or not. I can move that window out of the way, and access My Video folder still, but it's really annoying. I found out that when I go to play any of his videos now I just get rainbow like fuzzy stuff, so I decided to delete all of them. When I deleted them, I opened the folder without any problems. Just now, he sent me another video. I was hoping it was going to work, but it didn't. It saved to the "download" folder in My Documents where AIM automatically saves the files you get. Anyway, the same static came up.. and the same error came up when I opened the "download" folder. Does anyone know what's up with this? Is it my computer? Is it his camera? Did I do something wrong reformatting? I don't know what's going on here. Thanks for the help in advance.

Edit: When I do Start->Search and search for all files and the video pops up.. I also get the error then. And I forgot to mention, when the fuzz is playing, I still do get the sound.

Have you tried turning off DEP?

Control panel->system->advanced->Data Execution Prevention

How can you turn it off? The only options are turn it on for ALL programs except ones I choose or all the essential windows programs.

Select windows explorer and see if that fixes it

If you check windows explorer that will turn it OFF for that program

Thanks Purdue, it fixed the error happening... but the videos are still not playing. The video window pops up, but it's just a bunch of colors. I still get the sound though.

Edit: The video only plays the sound in Winamp and WMP. VLC Media player I can watch the video perfectly...
