now the colour is good but i cannot watch videos on Windows media player

when i open. computer freezes.. ca 10 seconds later. reboot. and the its back to normal ( no error messages )

its only video.. i can still listen to music

Please help me

Hi and welcome go Geeks to Go. Updating video drivers is a challenge, sometimes flawless and sometimes troublesome. Have you tried any other media player, like Divx or VLC Media Player, or PowerDVD? If any of those work, I suggest removing Windows Media Player and then re-installing it. You can do this from add/remove programs, and select add/remove windows components on the left. If you have problems with other players, I would get Driver Cleaner and do a proper clean up (should do this before updating the video driver). I personally had a similar problem with WMP. Other players worked, but not WMP. Removal and reinstall fixed it.

Well No players work

quicktime, real.. i can Open windows media player.. . i can listen to music.. but not video.


I tryed reinstallin windows before.
i followed all steps on nvidia.com on what to do.. uinstall drivers and so before installin forceware 81.85
i uninstalled my codecs for windows.


and what is an Driver Cleanup ?

It is worth trying a thorough clean up of the video driver installation and then re-install. Here is how. Go to
http://www.drivercleaner.net/ and get Driver Cleaner (it is free). Make sure you have the current driver available to install when finished. Then go to add/remove programs and remove the current video driver. Then boot into safe mode and run Driver Cleaner TWICE, each time deleting all that it finds. Then reboot and install the current video driver.

welll

i did try that but its not workin.

try download the new forceware/driver. mine is 81.94 and it works fine with my 6600GT.
