I'd be very grateful for any advice on this problem.
I'm pretty new to handling video and am experiencing strange behaviour from some files.
After downloading videos - AVIs seem to be the ones causing trouble, although I haven't had many other formats - when trying to open them all the icons on the desktop crash, if I try to encode them using either WinAVI or DVD Santa converters it shuts the programs down, also if I send them to the Recycle Bin it won't let me into it once they're there.
I don't appear to have any nasties on my system by the way, and everything else seems fine, it's only when I touch the videos.
My system comprises:
Gigabyte K8 Triton 754 board
Athlon 64 3000+
2 512MB PC2700 Elixir RAM sticks
Geforce Ti 4200 128MB graphics card
XP Pro SP2
Thanks very much.

You might just need a video codec. Other than that you got me. When files are in the recycle bin you cannot run them anyway.

Thanks.
Regarding the recycle bin, I mean I can't open the bin itself, not the file inside, I have to use a shredder program to empty it, but it's only when there's a video file in it.

That makes me think that the file has a virus. Or you have some problems with your os.

That's what I though initially, but it does the same with many different video files, plus I've checked and double checked for viruses and spyware and ran Registry Mechanic.
