more info
you people always want help w/o giving the most vital info
in your case.....
type of video file (avi, mpeg, etc.)
player (WMP, videoLAN, etc.)
codec package(s) & maybe the revision number(s)
for all we know you could be trying to shove a VHS tape into your PC,
with the amount of information you've provided

Also ram and OS may even be an issue and when did it start type of thing...

If it freezes in VideoLAN, then the video is corrupted. If not, then either the media player or the codecs are not right.
