When I play a file in Windows Media Player , there is no image, but only sound . I'm in 1024 x 768 with Color Quality of 16 bit . But when I turn the bits to 24, the image appears but really laggy. I remember I had the same problem and forgot how I resolved it, but remember it finally worked on 16 bit mode. But right now, nothing appears. Please help.

This is from a previous post from you

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

If this is still the case, play them in Winamp unless there is a particular need to use Media Player

well they do play with Winamp, but once again, when i go to full screen mode, everything lags, even in kind of big screen mode it lags. So media player is the best, worked before, now I just dont know how to fix it.

Did you click tools, performance, then reduce video acceleration

Has the graphics card got an option to reduce video acceleration
