I've been downloading episodes of a few series and i recently downloaded about 18 or so episodes all up, and around 8 or so of them wont work. If i click just on the icon of the file it crashes explorer and if i actually open up the files it crashes windows media player and explorer and says "Dr Watson Postmortem Debugger" has encountered an error and needs to close, when this happens nothing will work until i go into task manager and manually close Drwtsn32.exe

These are popular torrents and i dont think they are corrupt, also i tried deleting two of these files and re-downloading them and they are still screwed.

Any suggestions please?

What shows were they?

I might have already seen them so I can tell you what happens and you wont miss out.

I was actually going to ring you yesterday cause i thought you would have them and i was just going to ask you to burn them, but i decided to get them myself after fixing uTorrent.

so you are trying to play mpg or avi files? what program are u using to play them? have u tried switching off whatever program is giving you that dr watson msg?

They crash whichever program i try to open them with, and i cant find that dr watson crap to disable it.

Disable the preview pane in explorer.

Get some decent codecs.

get the latest divx.

buy the dvd's

try VLC. if that doesnt work maybe karma is telling u something.

i recently switched to media player classic. it seems more flexible.

if vlc wont play them, they are corrupt and u will have to dl them again

get it and go NOW NOW NOW
