hey i actually downloaded animatrix.avi from my friend but the problem is after downloading it i click on it and it hangs my pc and does not shows anything. when i open up the task manager it shows the computer usage 99% and the pc is freaking slow. s i rebooted my pc and click on it. again my pc hangs and does not show anything. the third time i reboot and i wanna delete off that thing again it hangs and the delete confirmation popped up kinda slow. when i click okay it prompts out another msg saying other program is using it. i did not open that thing and i just wana delete it but still it sorta hangs for no reason. can anybody tell me how can i delete this crap without having to mess up my pc?? :nerd:

delete it in dos, open up a run window and type cmd. then go to the directory with that file and do a "del animatrix.avi"

You can delete it while in safe mode, just restart your computer, press F8 all the time during boot up and there will come up a menu with some options, choose the on that says something with safe mode :P

If that doesn't work, delete it through an FTP program, that usually works.
