My comp stopped playing any videoformat.Sound is still there but no picture.It doesnt matter which player I use (mpalyer,real,powerdvd), i´v tried them all.OS is XP pro and I installed SB audigy player few days ago.I think problems started then.I´v tried to reinstall Audigy player and all codecs in Nimopack.Can anyone give any good advise before I have to format my harddrive.

See the reply I made to newbie cliff, partly repeated below.....See also reply to newbie Legendary

I have six players installed

a.PowerDVD - the worse for playing DLed movies
b.Win Media Player - rarely works well
c.HyPlay - weird controls, hasn't learned to forget the skins & most often does not work
d.DivX Player 2.0 Alpha - have yet to get it to work well
e.AVIPreview - good for checking a AVI movie as it comes down
f.ACE Mega CoDecs Pack Zoom Player - - the best that I have used

Even though you have the right Codecs installed, some players work better than others.... I suggest un-installing your players and using last two above

As to reformatting, it happens and I wind up doing it every three to six months....But quit doing it the hard way....Partition the HD, into a OS section and a Data storage section.....Now make drive image copies (at various stages of built-up) as you build-up your OS......The drive images are stored in a folder in the Data section (or later on CDs).....Then when having problems like yours, just recall the proper drive image.....twenty minutes later you are up and running again
