I don't think it's compressed, and it's an AVI file.

What avi player have you used on the files?

Sorry? If you mean what video players I've used.. I've used er.. Windows Media Player only.

And if knowing what digital camera I use would help, I use Canon Digital Ixus 400 and I play videos recorded by a Fujifilm Finepix regularly.

My computer plays AVI files fine, just not the videos that are recorded from digital cameras.

My friend cannot access his internet. Whenever he goes to a site, the error message 'Your current security settings prohibit you from running ActiveX controls on this page' appears. How do I help him?

Wayne: If you're sure it's the codec, try downloading the K-Lite Codec Pack.

Ryu: Your system is probably running low on memory.

It's probably low on memory, like Soujiro said. I've had it happen to me. Just try restarting your computer.

Back when I had Windows 95, whenever I Shutdown my computer, the shutdown process would begin, and eventually the tower would turn off by itself.

I've had XP for a while, and when i shutdown I always have to do it manually. That is, the shutdown process begins, but then that "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen comes on and I have to hold the tower button to turn it off.

Can XP do what the 95 did? And if so, can you tell me how?

Thanks to anyone who helps.

I've had XP for a 7 months now and you have to turn it off manually. It won't shut off automatically.
