    No Video Files playing on any player


    Hi peeps,

    My laptop has stopped playing all types of video files, all audio files plays fine.
    I haven't installed any software, all I did was boot and suddenly when I launch ANY video player
    (WMP, VLC and IrfanView).

    When I load any video, the player loads but then crashes (" x has stopped responding").
    I have another partition with Windows 7 Home Premium and it loads videos fine.
    I've scanned with Spybot and Avast, with only 2 infections being tracking cookies.

    I use Adobe Premier so I require watching my footage much too often!
    Please help!

    Edit: I've managed to get IrfanView to load the files and not crash, but it only plays audio.

    Hi Boohbah,
    I looked if I had one, but the most recent one was a few hours after this happened
