Not really a computer problem...but media player problem. For some reason videos arent working on websites, windows media player will load, and i'll hear the sound, but the picture is all different colors and what not. I think it might be a codec problem? I d-loaded Divx, but it didnt help. Does anyone have any clue what I need to do? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I had this problem before. I couldn't figure it out. I downloaded every codec out there. I eventually reinstalled the whole OS. I think it has to do with the video card.
Some tips which may help us help YOU: When asking for help, post what browser (Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox, IE, etc.) you're using, what version of it, and what site especifically you're going to (even pr0n, just let us know it's NSFW). "HELP ME, Alex... HELP ME... HELP you... HELP ME... help YOU..." Different browsers load videos with different media players. It might be QuickTime as the default for MOVs, Windows Media Player for AVI/WMV/ASF/ASX, among others. Flash is different. Can you try to download that clip alone on the media player outside the browser? It might be how the browser handles it, if it plays fine on the media player alone (not within the web page).
Specs: Windows XP IE version 6 It depends for the sites, like videos on youtube work, but videos on ebaumsworld wont. Hope that helps EDIT: Tried the VLC player as recommended, and that played videos outside of the browser, at least on ebaums. Thing is, I'm thinking of getting MLB.tv and that's not working when I try the free sample of it, dont know if you can open that outside of browser...but i'd rather just get this problem straightend out so I wont have to deal with it anymore.
Also, YouTube's videos are any format embedded into a FLASH movie (it's called a movie because it has frames, but it's also interactive and vector-based, meaning you can enlarge it and it keeps its smoothness), so that wouldn't have been the problem. I am glad everything is a-Ok. How about sharing that MLB subscription as a CF.net contribution?
Alright, well I have another problem I'm trying to figure out. Everytime I start my computer, I get an error messages that says "Run a DLL as an APP has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" I searched google, and on one site it recommended to go into the start menu and do stuff which i did but didnt work. Kept looking and found another site where it said it was a spyware deal. Posts that I saw through the search said to look for a certain .dll that wasnt there, and also to run spyware stuff. I ran all 3 programs that people posted said worked if one of the others did not. I've tried Ad-Aware, Spybot-S&D, and CW-Shredder. All with no success Once again any help is appreciated.
