Video Card: ATI Radeon 9800 (most recent drivers installed)
DirectX: Most recent version installed
OS: Windows XP Pro
Editing Software: As of right now, Windows Movie Maker & Sonic MyDVD

Problem:

About two weeks ago my system just decided it didn't want to play
video anymore. I tweaked and poked around with some features in media
player and got it to play. At this point, I went in and edited videos
with Movie Maker with no problem. Prior to this I had never had any
trouble editing and burning videos with MyDVD. Then, shortly
thereafter, my system decided I could play any video I wanted, but if
I tried to edit anything, my whole system would freeze up and I would
have to manually reboot the system.

If I didn't have a huge amount of videos to pull off my TiVo and burn
to DVDs, I probably wouldn't even care (or know) about this problem.
But the fact of the matter is - I do. So I thought I'd start here and
see if anyone can tell me if this is a video card problem. Then I'll
move forward from there.

Thanks in advance if you can be of any help!
