Hey guys I just re-amped my computer with a new motherboard (abit AA8 duramax), video card ( 7950 gt), and Ram module ( 1gb DDR2 pc2-4200).

I also reinstalled Windows XP Home Ed. and fully installed all updates.


********


When I now try to play a video whether its streaming, or saved stuff off my USB hard drive. I only get audio and no video, its just a blank screen.

I have tried WMP, Quicktime, Divx all of these players and all do the same thing.

Is it not enough RAM I have 1GB?

I need help and wanna watch my movies, thanks in advance guys.

you probably don't have the correct decompressor to view the video. you can install klite which has a lot of codecs. if you still cannot see the video you can use gspot to identify the codec you need.

was just gonna say the same thing... K-lite codec pack from www.free-codecs.com

solves many problems!!!!

I down loader the player and installed it all of that. And I am running into the same problem...!!!!

The video opens and runs but I only get audio and no video picture its is just a black background. *** is wrong with my computer?

Again do you think its a not enough RAM issue???
-thx guyz

did you install gspot to verify what codec the clip is using and whether it is installed or not?

Ya guys I am having the same problem as before. I can play stuff off a webpage like youtube, but when I download something, now matter what all I keep getting is a black screen with the sound going nysc with the player time.

Please help, do I need to download a new video card driver?

-Thanks Guys

Ya guys I thinking I need to enable something in windows or a file is corrupt or missing from somewhere.

Do you guys think it might be a hardware problem, like not enough ram?

-lemme know what yall think

Low RAM wouldn't cause your problem. If it's happening in all media players, it will be either graphics drivers or codecs.

Follow the instructions here to remove your current drivers and install Forceware 91.47

Drag a video into G-Spot to find which codec it uses, then install the full version of the K-Lite Codec Pack. Reboot and try playing the video again.

Solved but new problem

Ok I now can play videos off my hard drive....

BUT!!!

I installed the driver, but now the color is very gray and there is kinda a pink shadow in the background.

I uninstalled the driver again and then reinstalled the same driver, and the same thing happened the gray scale and pink shadow.

I'm sure I have the right codec via Gspot. So Im pretty sure its one of the following:

1. Not enough RAM

2. Driver corrupt

3. Video card damaged

Help!!!

What do yall think?

-Thanks

what driver did you uninstall and reinstall? was it the display drivers? do all video clips play back in poor quality?

whatever codec gspot says is being used to playback the video, open the codec tweak tool from the start menu. it'll be in
k-lite codec pack>configuration tool>codec tweak tool

you'll have check boxes to tick here and if the codec is listed under
reset to recommended settings
then check it. you could also check the first box 'Fixes' to detect broken codecs.

i cannot see the problem being not enough RAM or a faulty video card. with a faulty video card you'll get artifacts across the screen at different times or all the time, not just when playing a video clip, contained within the video area itself.
