PC problems after video of RPG shooter getting shot

Anyone else have their PC behave strangely after watching the video clip of
the RPG shooter being dispatched?

Both my PC and someone I sent the original link to are having problems. My
PC won't boot properly and his PC is restarting.

My antivirus didn't notice any problem.

No problems here... must be coincidence.

Thanks for the reply.

To be clear, both of our problems only started after watching the video and
then after the PC was rebooted. No problems were apparent before the
reboot.

All of my data seems to be intact. It appears to be a corruption of a
Windows file, not sure which one. There are less surprising things than
that Windows went T.U.

I have seen explorer.exe crash after it tries to preview a corrupt
mediafile. Try to delete the video...

All the best

Did you notice if Media Player had to download a Codec first (before
you could view it)? Maybe that affected it?

Do a 'scandisk' surface scan in DOS mode. You probably have lost
cluseters. Surface scan will find them, probably succede in relinking
them. Make a note of what was damaged.

I had no problems after viewing and rebooting. Which version of Media Player
are you using?

Could you elaborate on "PC won't boot properly".

Thanks for the suggestion.

Scandisk surface scan keeps finding an "illegal long filename" that it
cannot repair.

When I've attempted to reinstall Win98SE the error that Scandisk finds
prevents Setup from completing.

Thanks for your suggestions
