Access Is Denied!!!

Help me please, someone, anyone!

Ok I dunno how this started, but every time I try and click on an AVI file I get an "Access is denied" error, furthermore, my Norton was having unexpected errors so I uninstalled that, the only way I can open AVI files is to right click and OPEN WITH and then select WMP. I don't get it, this didnt happen a few days ago?!?!? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

Does it say it's in use by another programme?

ok well after the helpful advice, I was able to fix the problem (i believe), it seems as though my registry was screwed up.....so after going to that kelly's korner xp webpage, I grabbed a registry file to fix the "Open With" problem, it seemed that it was having a problem with registering WMP 10 with the files, and among other files it was screwy, so after running the registry file to fix the issue, i was able to open the program without problems.......
