XP crashing on playing AVI file - help!

[Tenex]

My PC reboots whenever I fast forward on the playback of an AVI in either
Zoomplayer or BSplayer anyone have an idea why? If this were one
application I'd blame that but as it's in two different pieced of software I
tend to think it's XP.

FWIW all AV scanned and security patched to date and DX9b'd

This happens usually when the application is first run and the file dragged
and dropped to the player. Actually it's now crashed even when opening the
file and 6 seconds into playback.

Anyone seen this and can suggest a fix?

You either dont have the right codec's installed, or you have conflicting
codec's

There are a lot of codecs so that may be the problem. It never happens on
the second AVI only the first. Not sure which to remove though. Thanks
