I?ll try to make it short , downloaded & interrupted an activeX which resulted in a black screen whenever I playback a video ( WMPlayer10, Nero 8 , Quicktime , Divex NOTHING WORK) (audio is fine ) , I tried the following (NONE worked ) :
? Rolling back wm11 to 10 & Reinstalling wm player 11
? Installed & Uninstalled XP_Codec_Pack_2.4.1 , Nimo50Build8 , Codecs6030_allin1 , klite codec417
? Scanned registry using Mechanics
? Ran Gspot and sherlock2.0 didn?t show any missing or corrupt codecs (UNLESS I dono how to use it )
? Uninstalled codecs from Device manager sound , video& Game controllers video codecs properties (removed one by one )
other things noticed :
? Video played back just fine when booted from my other HD (vista)
? prompted when downloading codecpack to delete a broken registry which I did
? the only time I am able to playback video is when running VLC media player (choosing Direct X or Open GLwithout hardware acceleration )
XP or Vista ?
Use the built-in system restore to revert your system to a time before
the problem occurred. This will put back the files and registry as
they were then.
thank you EVERYONE system restore didnt fix it BUT 3 button clicks on this stupid CATALYST video control panel on my computer saved me another 20 hours of hassle with this I GUESS NO ONE knows it all
hey, what are the 3 clicks you did, i have the same prob and i have catalyst, please help me as i have to open one vid, then pause it, then open another one so it uses another codec or something
