I recently installed a DVD-RW and a usb hdd. I tried to play a .mpeg in wmp10 and get audio, but no video. I had the same results with realplayer and quicktime. Also tried to play .avi's with the same result. I've tried rolling back the WMP, same results. I uninstalled all the new software I installed and ran regclean. I'm currently running Avast! to see if there's any viruses I missed. Has anyone else had this problem? There's nothing about it on the Microsoft web site and didn't have any luck googling this problem. I do have one jap anime cartoon that runs. It's a .mpeg, and is the only one that works.
I guess I should also mention that all the players worked about 3 weeks ago, also upgraded to an LCD but display settings are still set to plug and play.
i installed the codec software, still having the same results. Player just shows a black screen. Time is being counted, and can hear audio. No picture.
Okay, I feel like a real moron. It never occurred to me to check the display drivers. I thought it was a little hokey that they were still plug and play. Went out and located the correct drivers for my obscure LCD and installed. Rebooted, and wa-la, works fine. Guess I've gotten a little rusty since I haven't worked in the tech field for over a year. The monitor appeared to be working fine, that's why I never checked the drivers. I realized that i hadn't run any video on this new monitor until today.
