problem of visual output in Windows Media Player

[albertlee]

Hi

Just yesterday, my windows media player, in play mode, does not output the the movie frames, where the movie screen on the media player remains blank with only the audio output.

I ve tried with all media file types like mpg, wmv, asf... but all the same thing happens.

I have even recovered the whole laptop for this with a recovery CD, but same thing happens.

However, the monitor looks and responses normal though... Looks not like a hardware problem.

The strange thing is that other types of media player do not work as well.

I thought this might be that my media files were corrupted, but I tried them on another computer but they played fine.

This erroneous computer is laptop, with OS windows xp home edition.


Please help

thanks

by the way, in essence, no visual output at all, but audio output is perfectly ok.
