Help with Action Replay Max Media Player

ok, i seriously dont know what to do.
i converted all the .avi files using the max media creator i then
put the files on my USB flash drive, but when i run the media player
it will say it's examining the pendrive and nothing else will happen.
so am i doing anything wrong? or is it just that my ARMax is defective?

This might sound pretty stupid, but it's worked for me. After that happens, try removing your flash drive and insert it into the other USB port. I think it would help if you place your AVI files in the root directory of your flash drive.
