This place has been my emergency helpline today!! :)

I am having a problem with movie playback on my system. It seems to be a sudden problem and I have tried system restore to remedy the issue but unfortunately to no avail.

When watching an avi file tonight it froze after a couple of minutes....eventually started again but continued to freeze at certain times.

When I initially went to try and get in to system restore, I couldn't open "help and support", but even though I got in to it via startup and have restored to a week ago, "help and support" will still not open (and the relevant file is in C/windows) but more importantly the movie playback is still freezing not only using VLC player but others too.

This has been a real bolt out of the blue this evening as I have not had any problems with movie playback as recently as yesterday afternoon.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, as always :)
 
I think I have the playback problem sorted.....the files were playing off an external HD and the problem seemed to be coming from that.
 
Which HD is it? just out of interest. The external HD's i've used i've always been impressed with their speed.
