all of a sudden i cant play videos

[manutdstott]

As a father of 3, I'm well into digital photography. I own a fuji finepix f601 zoom I'm more than happy with it, My printer is a epsom r200 excellent quality prints at A4. Also my camera records video upto a good few minutes depending on quality settings & size of memory card. I have shot a lot of video of my family uploaded them to my computer, and watch them back on my pc. but all of a sudden after about 12 months or over, all i get is sound & no picture, i'v tried downloading codecs, but cant get them to play, I also downloaded windows media player 10. i'm on xp. sorry to go on a bit i,v had a drink. my question is can i downgrade back to windows media player 9, to see if this solves my problem. or is there something else i can try, plz help i got some cracking footage of my children.

Sounds to me like your computer has developed its own intelligence and like all other intelligent beings it is ****** of with listening to you going on about all the gizmos you have and looking a pictures of your ******* wife and kids. What a ****!

.... or are you some sort of pervert? cracking footage of my kids???????? Very dodgy.

I don't know how to solve your problem but if you get it sorted you'd be wise to back up your videos onto a CD/RW. I do it for just this sort of eventuality.

Have you tried using a different media player altogether? Lots of people swear by another prog but I can't actually remember what it is called. I'm sure someone will volunteer its name.

Dear manutdstott, I cannot apologise enough for the upset that has been caused by this situation. Unfortunately I lent my laptop to someone who I felt could be trusted and I now I find out, in the most unfortunate circumstances possible, that not only can I not trust them but they also have what can at best be described as a warped sense of humour. This has sickened me as much as it has the other respondents who have aired their views on this page. I have dealt with the situation as best as I am allowed to do but even that is not nearly enough to punish the wrong that has been done. I again apologise for what has happened and will contact answerbank to delete details of this registration.
