*any* movie? What codecs are you trying? Perhaps you're trying to play
something you don't have any support for, and that's what's doing the
actual crashing.

avi files from my camera, VOB, wmv. Not sure on how to check for installed video codecs. I seem to remember a package for microsoft codecs,do I need it??

The problem does not occur with an install of Mandriva one live for
2009.0 but this distro has other problems, and an upgrade to 2009.1
gives a messy system.

Well ... perhaps don't use Mandriva? If it can't upgrade itself
properly, use something that can.

I would like both boxes on the same system.
