Delete movie=kernel panic?
Hi everyone!
There are some really smart people on this forum, so someone should be able to help me.
I've got a movie on my hard drive (700 mb avi) that, whenever I try to delete it, it causes a kernel panic immediately and forces me to restart the computer. It does this even when I boot up from an external drive and try to delete it then.
Here's what I've tried to do to solve this problem so far:
-Repaired permissions (seemed to be okay)
-Tried a program called Force Delete (still caused panic)
-Repaired drive (seemed to be okay)
-Rebuilt volume (seemed to be okay)
-Scanned file for viruses (none found)
-Done all of these things from a copy of osx on my external drive (seemed to be okay/caused kernel panic)
Basically, I'm lost. Short of reinstalling OS X (which would blow), I'm not sure what I can do.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys!

PS whoever is moderating can delete this thread.... sorry
Not at all, any solution to a problem is welcome on the boards in case other people have the same issue. Did the file in question have funny characters in it? If it was a 700MB AVI, I'm guessing it was a download. Different systems have different handling of characters.
