I have a windows xp and the files my movies are in are mpg files, and I was using a window media player but changed to VLC media player, to see if that worked but did'nt.

Will they play if you start them from your shared folder with LW shut down?

They maybe fakes. Try checking files with Bitzi Web Lookup. Open LW and go to your library page, right click on one of your video files and go to Advanced > Look up File with Bitzi. See if it has been rated, if they haven't been rated then they're probably fake.
