Windows Media Player sometimes working

Micropanic · 3 Apr 2006 at 09:29

Hey all,

Somethings up with Windows Media Player... well with all my different media players actually. (Quicktime, VLC etc..)

On rare days, it'll show a picture along with sound; on most days it only gives out the sound but nout to see but a blank screen.

I really don't know what's up with this.

If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Olly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried out both, however no luck was to be had.

Possibly be a different problem on my PC?

go through add/remove progarms and remove all 'codec packs' and the like

then install ffdshow and ac3 filter, use Media Player Classic for viewing videos, sleekest player there is..

^get them all from here

Did everything you said by the letter and still no joy, this is rather annoying.

So no-one really has a clue as to how to fix this problem?

- Virus scan
- Remove Codecs
- Download Divx codecs (google)

Should do it

Tried, tested and failed

Thanks anyway.

Finally found a way.

I downloaded 'The Core Media Player', and everything worked fine.
