I installed Windows 8.1 a couple of days ago and I am having a crazy issue with my movie files. Any file that dosnt show a thumbnail wont play, if however I drag it to the desktop it will display a thumbnail and play. If I try playing one in VLC it has an error 'of bad file descriptor'.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs and they are all up to date. Any help would be gratefully received.
