Dont know whats happened but my laptop has stopped playing video, it used to work no problems, dont think anything changed, but when I play a WMV or mpeg I get sound and the position slider moves but there is no picture, tried using media centre and same thing, tryed and aftermaket dvd player and worked a little but but the picture was green. Any ideas
If you installed software (or anything similar, even drivers sometimes!) they could install new codecs which could confuse Windows Media Player, which could lead to your problem.
Hi Have You Tried To change your video acceleration settings as your video card could have sped up/slow down I had same problem with vista and this worked have now gone back to xp.
from memory in windows media player you can adjust the colour settings yourself ie the amount of blue green red etc, if you goto view->enhancements->video settings orsomething like that, worth a fiddle anyway.
also try a mediaplayer like vlc or media player classic, these take very little system resources so if you've only got 512mb ram and you're trying to play big video files then its desireable to have a mediaplayer thats not ram hungry.
also if they are massive res vids, try setting the zoom to 50%.
