This is a shot in the dark but I thought I'd at least ask as Ive run out of things to try.

I have a problem with video files locking up my computer after you close the program playing them. WMP10 and Nero Showtime are not affected by this but WinDVD, PowerDVD and VLC Player are.

What happens is you can play a video file and close the player after the file is done or even in midstream and the PC will hard lock within 2-3 seconds.

This is on Windows XP SP2, Nforce 3 motherboard and Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi!

Is this a recent change in the behavior of your system? If so, try performing a "System Restore" back to the last time things were working properly...

Have you recently installed an updated video driver?
