go to http://mirror.edskes.com/ and download the K-Lite Full Codec Pack, install it and then try and play the files.
What player are you using?

Can I get this bit clarified please ?
..my computer gets stuck every time I open a folder containing a Xvid file.
So this is before you even try & play it ? Just if you open a folder containing an xvid ? Or didn't you word it 'good' ? & you mean when you try to play it ?

Right ho, I've had that one I think - something to do with thumbnails methinks ? Try just changing the view in the folder (you might have to do them all temporaily as if you can't access the one you want without getting an error etc - views being an inherited property) to list ..
I think when in thumnail view it'll try to fire the application to display the first frame of the file & thats what kicks the error. Will your player work if you do it the other way around ? So instead of double clicking on the movie or whatever, open up your player & do it that way ..
I wish I could remember what I did ! I fixed this up for somone a while ago (bloody useless you are sometimes 'ed ! No doubt if I get enough memory clues it'll come back to me - hopefully !)
