i posted this on another forum... didnt really get much help... heres what ive found out so far........
I restarted my computer, and clicked on some movies that I downloaded to watch them and all I got was a blank screen with sound...
i played some more file video types and got the same thing...
this one time i opened up a clip video and it left an icon on my desktop in a text file titled dxva_ or some crap.. i forgot the file name...
keep in mind i have the latest WMP, I have the latest XP codec Pack, the latest K-Lite codec Pack, Latest DivX player, Latest Media Player Classic... direct x 9.0c . latest video card drivers.... EVERYTHING WORKED 100% BEFORE!
can somebody please help
appreciate it..

the file that appeared on my desktop was Dxva_sig.txt
PS. QUICKTIME VIDEOS DISPLAY PERFECTLY

on windows media player 11, i went to options -> performance -> clicked on 'restore defaults' -> advanced... -> unchecked 'use overlays' AND THE VIDEOS PLAYED.... but i still get the same problem with Media Player Classic ....

the problem seems to be only for WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER's.....
There are also references to a 'Disable WMV Accelaration' setting on the video card (properties, settings, advanced), but not all cards show the setting.
I was getting the same file appear on my desktop when I was using my WMP. Also had problems playing some videos, mainly wmv file types. The WMP screen would show blotchy bright colours but sound was OK.
Solution:
My video card, ATI Radeon X1300PRO, uses PCIe so I disabled AGP Texture Acceleration in DirectX.
Star - Run - dxdiag
Open Display tab and disable 'AGP Texture Acceleration' in DirectX Features.
