Thats odd about Handbrake. I wonder why that is? Hmm…
But, thank you soo much for that codec recommendation! It seemed to have fixed the issue! All of the .AVI files now load up correctly and everything! Thank you so much! Truly!
Did you still want to see a screen shot of the video tab?

Now, would you still recommend wiping out the computer and starting from scratch? I don’t mind, if you think it’s what I should do. But, would I still have to reinstall the codec to fix the .avi’s again, or would it be okay without it?

Just let me know what you think is best, as now that I have my projects back, and I’ve experienced something this close to a loss, I am willing to do whatever you think I should. 🙂
Again, thank you so much! 😀
And thank you VERY, VERY much to everyone else who responded to this point! All of this help is very much appreciated and really put things into perspective for me! 😀

I’m glad that worked. No need to see the video tab, it is obviously h.264. 😉

The only reason I recommended wiping your hard drive clean and re-installing is because of all the stuff you may have downloaded and that you were experiencing problems like GSpot not being able to start at all. When programs start to fail it’s time to do a major clean-up.

I would wait and see if you find any other strange behavior with your system. If so, you might want to reformat. If not, you can stay as you are. I would still contact Gateway and try and get a Restore DVD. It’s always good to have around.

Now that you know about system restore, set a manual restore point before you install something questionable. Then if a day later things don’t work right, you at least have a known point to restore to.
