Problems with Video-Playback

This is a discussion about Problems with Video-Playback in the Windows Software category; I have problems with video-programs in general. Everytime I want to start a video, my system hangs up. For example, if I want to watch a movie-trailer mpeg, double click it, and windows media player (7) loads, the system crashes.

I have problems with video-programs in general. Everytime I want to start a video, my system hangs up. For example, if I want to watch a movie-trailer mpeg, double click it, and windows media player (7) loads, the system crashes. If I load QuickTime 4, for example, the program even hangs up while it loads. I can listen to audio-files with the media player, but it sucks up with videos
 
My system:
MSI-6167 Mainboard
Athlon 600
Leadtek Winfast 3D S320
Toshiba DVD 6x/32x
Teac CD-RW 4x/4x/32x
Creative Labs Vibra16x PNP
An old IDE Controller cause I need a second parallel port... it's completely disabled, except of the parallel port (and I had the same problem before I installed it)
256 MB RAM (PC-100)
10Mbit/s PCI Ethernet
Seagate 20 GB
Floppy
Windows 2000
 
I had now problems with exactly this system before I switched to Windows 2000 (before I used WinME).
Anybody knows what could cause this prob?
 
Thx
