I have all 3 seasons of The Family Guy on my computer now (yay me), but when I go to watch them I get through maybe 30 seconds of video then it garbles up and gives me the WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER HAS ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR I KNOW WE SUCK BUT YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA ANYWAY BYE BYE K THX~ and I have to send an error report that will never get sent.

My best guess is that it's a codec problem since I can normally watch movies just fine. No updates available, and I have no idea what codec I would need if that is the problem :(

They are AVI files, and yeah they're pretty good quality. I downloaded a player from download.com that was like 2MB, plays them just fine. But it's still annoying, I'd like windows media to do it
