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 so, run a virus check on the file and on your system. Try moving the file to another PC and see if it works on there. 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 .

656132 2008-04-05 06:51:00 Man really 232 Mb is not that big, consider current high definion h264 which is 25 GB per movie. Donate All Cash To Africa (13573)
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.
