Graham, Thank you for your Gspot program. I think I'm close but still having
trouble. I ran gspot on a desktop saved, video previw with a ".wmv"
extention. Gspot gave me a display; "Direct Show claims to be able to play
the file" using Mpeg 43 Decoder DMO and Video Renderer. I still have sound
but no video... What else might I try???
Thanks so much for your help with this,
Chris

This fixed the 'sound but no video' problem in Windows Media Player for
me:

1. Start Windows Media Player;
2. If not maximised, maximise Windows Media Player;
3. On the menu bar, choose TOOLS then OPTIONS;
4. Select the PERFORMANCE tab;
5. Move the 'video acceleration' setting off 'Full'
6. Click on the OK button;
7. Close Windows Media Player;

(Info: WinXP SP2, Windows Media Player 10, AMD XP3200, 512MB RAM)

I have a solution to your problem. This has worked for me, and I hope, it will work for you. I am the owner and founder of a electronics community known as Core. Since I founded Core on April 19, 2009, it has become a hub for tech support and discussion alike. Alright, so here is how you can rectify your most unfortunate problem. Try to play the audio or video file that you are trying to play. When you see the "!" next to the file name in Windows Media Player, you should right click (not left click) on the name of the file next to the "!". Upon doing so, please click on "Show Information on the Bug" or something like that. Then you should go to "WMPlugins.com". If this does not happen, does not work, or it doesn't have that thing to click on (or something else), then you can go to the official Core forum for WMPlugins.com and ask for assistance, this forum can be found at the following URL: http://s1.zetaboards.com/CoreWWW/forum/848809/
