Cant view videos anymore.

I get the sound but no video. I have updated everything and still nothing. If I play a video on my computer it plays fine but when i try and use the video streaming on this site, or any other site like it, it wont play the video just the sound. What can I do to fix this??

Using Firefox? I've noticed that if I touch anything with the mouse, you get no video in the browser with Firefox. Not sure why...

Firefox is a browser. He meant instead of using Internet Explorer.

Its a WMP problem then. Try uninstalling it(completely) and then reinstalling in from a freshly downloaded setup file. That might work.

Any input on what came of this? Cause I just downloaded WMP 10 straight from Microsoft and now I'm having the same problems.

Codecs.......

Download all the codecs again. They are in a seperate package. Sometimes they get fubar'd during setup, or your system won't get them all, or they just won't be registered correctly.

Also, make sure you let it buffer enough before you try and play it. Sound files are smaller than video, hence why they will play and video won't. Just a thought.
