so I recently had to repair my XP . It went back to the default WMP 7 so I had to upgrade to 10. The problem is, when I try to watch a video, there is only sound and no image, kind of like the screen is frozen. I already downloaded the latest codecs ( K - Lite) but it didn't help.

any video

it seems that it works when its in 800 x 600 and in 16 BIT . And it also works in my screen mode i always use 1024 x 768 , but in 24 bit so its kind of slow. So i always had it in 16 bit and it worked. But now there is nothin

have you tried updating your video card drivers?

[seattle2005er]

well I dont think there is a reason to. I never had to when I would reformat the computer, and the vids would work fine. BUt now they dont. This happened to me last time too and it fixed but I had no idea how. But yea, its still not working

yea i downloaded that , same problem. Anyways I chagned my color quality in Display Properties back to High ( 24 bit ) , and it shows the image now . And everything is fine, even in full screen , until the mouse disappears...everything starts to move all slow, but when i move the mouse again its perfect? What should I do? But the thing is , I know that I had it in 16 bit before . But when it's in 16 it won't show anything, the freeze just freezes.

Either update your video card drivers or reinstall the drivers as one poster suggested.

Although you said it shouldn't need this, the windows OS sometimes has a way of muffing things up. I really can't see why changing resolutions should affect WMP..

yea heres a weird thing. The videos play fine in winamp....but not in wmp

Do you have the latest version of DirectX, i.e. 9.0c?
If not, download it.
