weird problem watching avi files

[demon-eater]

okay
Geforce 2 mx 400 w/tv out 42.01 dets(stock speed, overclocked no difference)
nimo codec 5.8 build
w2k
**everything in computer at stock speed**

when watching a avi file it freezes within 2 minutes of watching the file... i have tried using drivers from 28-42 and have the same problem with all...

i unstall the drivers each time i try a new one...

im kinda stumped and need to record some of these avi files to video tape (don't ask/tell me to make vcd's) but first i gotta figure out why its doing what its doing...

i also have a Gefore 3ti200 but that has s-video out and i can't find my adapter to composite (if that even is possible)

dump the "nimo" codec's and get some new ones of another maker like the 'divix 5.2" and give it a shot my friend had the same problem and this worked for him.

Something gets corrupted in these files on my computers regularly. I have no clue what it is. I have found that if I uninstall nimo & windows media player and reinstall them, the problems go away.

even with that 5.2divx thingy after uninstalling nimo it still happening...

After uninstalling, try uninstalling windows media player, restarting, and reinstalling media player, then the codecs.
