Regarding your question about
Opening Media File attachment from an email and Computer Freeze, there are so many variables to look at and therefore a simple "try this" kind of answer is going to be a 'hit or miss'.
Some of the factors to consider are:
- Assuming that the media file is from a trusted source and has no virus or other types of Malware your Antivirus, AVG is having trouble with, other things to consider are,
- is the file corrupted during its email transfer,
- the size of the file and your available Computer resources [ Acer Aspire 5000 MAX RAM 2GB DDR333; [SIZE=-2]40GB ATA/100 or higher] [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=-2]the File type [ Example if the file type is different from the Multimedia Programs you have in your PC [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=-2]or you have the Programs installed but you have yet to configure this program to be associiated with the file type you want opened by that application[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-2][SIZE=-2]My suggestions: - [SIZE=-2]Try to [SIZE=-2]Download & [/SIZE]Save to a named folder in your Download folder[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=-2]Check the file using Antivirus.[/SIZE]
- Check the Properties and decide file type
- [SIZE=-2]and then try to open with Windows Media Player in Win 7 [SIZE=-2]or another appropriate Program[/SIZE].[/SIZE]
Hope this helps
