Chances are that I've caught a virus or something...in which case its fixed now...I think or rather hope. Regardless as to what the actual cause was, 90% of all the videos I have on my PC no longer plays right. By that I mean that the pictures dont show. The sound comes out no problem but the actual video doesnt play...on any program, I tried Windows Media, Winamp, Power DVD, Zoom Player, so on...NONE of them displayed the video and just played the sound, its like I've gone blind.
Another thing that happened was that almost all of them were converted to a "Video Clip" for a file type from their original winamp media file, etc. I tried renaming them as *****.avi, etc to convert them back but it didnt let me...That later fixed itself when I restarted the PC and than all of them were back to their original formats.
...so anyone have any ideas to what happened or if there are any ways to fix the videos?
...or am I just ultimately screwed and should've made back-ups of the vids from the beginning?
Always a thanx in advance for any help.
