Can't view video in any browser...

Having a bit of a problem.

I can view video in any of my browsers (IE, Opera and Firefox) from sites like YouTube but if I try and widows media files like the videos on the BBC website, I get audio but no picture. Quicktime Video plays perfectly.

Now the same problem is occuring with DVD playback!

Anybody have any suggestions?

Plot thickens....

Just went into display properties and pushed the hardware acceleration slider to None.

Finally was able to view the video.

Sounds like a driver problem so I'll uninstall and then re-install the graphics drivers and see what happens.

Argh!! Still not working! Tried previous drivers and still the problem exists.

Think its sorted now.

Went into the drivers and set video overlay to default settings and it now seems ok. bit strange as I never adjusted those settings ever. :confused:

Somehow it must have corrupted or something similar.

Appears ok now.

Goes off to watch pron........
