Help with an .avi file

[DrA]

So I'm watching a movie when the video blacks out during the middle of the movie (the sound still plays though). I tried using different media players, and in all of them the whole movie had no picture at all, even in the parts where it originally did.

How can I get the picture back up on the movie?

[DrA]

Ok, now none of my videos will play picture.

What is going on here?

[YOUR Hero]

you are completely upgraded on the newest players?

[DrA]

Yes, it's just now none of my players (Windows Media Player, DIVX, Quicktime) will play ANY picture at all for any of my files.
