i have a file in avi format. today when i tried to open it with the default video player, it gives an error.
i moved the file to another folder, it works
i tried copy and paste the file back to the original folder, it fails to open

however, if i use a diffferent program to open it, it works. so there's nothing wrong with the file
i then copy and paste the entire content of the folder to another hard drive, same thing happens

so, my hard drive is fine since it won't open on different hard drives
the file is fine since it opens with different programs

i'm totally lost here. i will pay fg if you can fix this. pm me for details

so open it with vlc or in another directory and move on with your life. why are you posting in programmer's haven about this?

i figure this is a programming related issue and i want to know why it does this

this has nothing to do with programming

also, learn to post errors

IT GIVES AN ERROR HERP DERP

OKAY COOL SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

WE'RE GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU FOR NOT POSTING THE ERROR

asking for help 101

but not here because

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROGRAMMING OH MY GERD HOW CERLD YOU EVER THINK SO?

edit; okay wait im back
