When i play a movie through windows media player or divx you can just about se the picture in the backround. It is very dark. But f i open the file with quicktime it is fine. Is this a software/setting problem or is it something that could be wrong with the graphics card? These are files that used to work with windows media player so its not a file that isnt compaitble with it.

Thanks

 

can you post some screenshots so i can see what you mean?

 

Try downloading VLC.........its free....plays everything ive thrown at it....

 

 

and sadly, when VLC dont take everything, u should also download k-lite code pack

 

Upgrade windows media player to version 11 if not already done so, or download and install winamp from www.winamp.com

 

Can't take screenshots of video content in WMP as the video image comes directly from the CPU, not from within the WMP programme Infact you can't do it in anything that doesn't have a "capture" feature - like WinDVD or VLC....

VLC plays pretty much most things, but as said, a decent codec pack (like the K-Lite one) is a must to get the best out of everything...

Then go to your file type associations and set all the movie/video files to open with VLC and you're sorted
