Pffff...
Just do this: Start -> Run -> shutdown -a :P

Back to topic now.
Did you try playing that video with another media player? (for example, VLC, winamp)
Are you sure you have installed the required codecs for that video?

i'll try it with a different player later, i am sure ive installed all the right codecs, cos when it needs different codecs it tells me :P

when it starts the 60 second countdown do:
start -> run and type: "shutdown.exe -A" (no quotes) that'll stop the 60 second countdown and shutdown.
okay, it's either the sasser worm or ms blaster worm (if it is in fact a worm) - if on start up it mentions "LSA Shell (Export Version) then it is the sasser worm and you should get these:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FxSasser.exe
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...8F3&displaylang=en
if not then it is msblaster and you should get:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.mspx
that patch.
and run:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixBlast.exe
to scan and remove the worm already present.

im not even sure it is a worm :S eg/. does anyone else have scvhost  taking up that much memory????
