How can I get the media which has been recorded on Windows Vista to play on Windows XP?

Hello Forum... I would like to download/copy of the video programs & TV on my external drive seagate, primarily from my friends laptop, so I check it plays ok. When I get home it will not play on my Win XP Pro and just freezes my laptop, is there a fix or somethink for Win Vista Home Premium so that it works with my laptop Win XP Pro... Thanking you, yours sincerely, liam k

I'm surprised VLC didn't work... I wonder if you
a problem with your video driver. This may have a
Update. In some rare cases updates automatic in Windows
will install a video driver that is incompatible with
your system than the one you already had. In this case...
a system restore driver or the restoration is expected to dissipate it.

Reduce the hardware acceleration of your chart may
be worth a try:

(scroll down to: "If you are using Windows 2000 or XP")
(try to move the cursor notches 4 (everything except left
the last of them))

If they improve the question, you should look for the
site Web of MFG. your video card
a updated driver Win XP compatible video. Or...
If your computer is a laptop... Search support
site of the manufacturer of your computer.

Improvement or not... don't forget to return the cursor
to full.

In any case...

If you drag and drop the. AVI on the following utility... it
will tell you if it's a DivX file or possibly a Xvid file.
