| 656129 | 2008-04-05 04:17:00 | Hi I downloaded, via bittorrent, an episode of "curb your enthusiasm. It ended up, somehow, in my recycle bin (vista) and I can see it there, but can't restore it. The file is called curbyour.enthusiasm.se6e01. PDTV.Xvid-notv. As soon as I click on it to restore it or drag it back to the desktop, i get a message saying explorer has stopped working, and the recycle bin closes. Then i get a little message saying the problem is caused by Xvid, and am invited to go to Xvid.org, where I nothing sensible happens. Can anyone suggest how I have buggered this up? It is a big file (232mb) and I don't want to have to download it again if I can help it. The other episodes i downloaded, with the same suffix, play fine. (it is hilarious TV, I recommend it) Cheers |

If it does, there's a virus or something on your PC. If not, the files probably corrupt - download again or buy the DVD ;) |

| 656131 | 2008-04-05 04:57:00 | It prolly won't restore back from the Recycle bin because it's too large to be contained in the Recycle bin anyway . Usually you get a notice from the Windows system that it is too large, but it asks do you want to delete it anyway . . . or something like that . I bet that's what happened . Now . . . how it GOT there in the first place, I dunnow . |

| 656133 | 2008-04-05 07:36:00 | 232 Mb is tiny for Vista, I regularly dump 1 Gb files in. Found this here from another forum - may or may not help. the system doesn't believe you have ownership or rights to these areas. (1) show hidden/system files (2) select the item in question, select security.. take ownership of the item, might be under advanced options. then you can do what you want. c:\recycler (is where the recycle bin is) you will see several subfolders (5-1-*) empty or delete each one (again you must take ownership of these) If you delete the recycler folder it will rebuild itself automatically. |
