Video Player Freezing
I am running 32bit Vista and everytime I try to open a video file the video player itself freezes. I am trying to use winamp, wmp, and quicktime but they all seem to freeze when I open a video file. It was not doing this a week ago but nothing on my computer has changed. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've run virus scan and spam/malware scan to no avail.
