| 17630 | 2001-08-26 00:42:00 | Have recently reformated and reinstalled everything, and everything works, except whenever I try to play any kind of video, .avi, .mov .mpg or even the videos at the start of a game the system just freezes. Any idea what could be wrong, and how it can be fixed? | Guest (0) | ||
| 17631 | 2001-08-26 03:08:00 | You could try installing newer video card drivers, and/or DirectX 7 or 8. | Guest (0) | ||
| 17632 | 2001-08-26 04:53:00 | I agree, may be video drivers, or DirectX In MediaPlayer--View--Options--Playback--Video-Hardware Acceleration, drag the slider back to none. See if that helps. If it does , it may indicate to update to the latest drivers for your video card, which is a good move regardless. Also try running Dxdiag.exe and Dxinfo.exe (part of directX) |

| 17633 | 2001-08-28 04:52:00 | Ok, I have reinstalled the latest driver for the video card - nVidia TNT2 M64, and even if I download the option that specifies it is WHQL certified, dxdiag reports that the main file, nvdisp.drv is uncertified. If I disable DirectDraw, it works fine, but then if I test DirectDraw after disabling it, all the tests pass, so I enable it, and it instantly fails any DirectDraw tests and Im back to square one. Testing Direct3D just hangs the system completely whether it is enabled or not. While I can get everything working, Id like to know what the heck is up with this. Any ideas? | Guest (0) | ||
