Computer/Video ? : Sound, no video...help!
Ok, I have an .avi on my computer that played fine a few months ago, but when I try to play it now, I get great sound, but no video. This is the same in RealPlayer and Winamp. Ideas? Is all hope lost?

1. Did you happen to download the AOL video player recently?
I did last night and have been having streaming problems with WMP ever since.

the players are the latest versions, and the video was a-ok before...sigh.

3. The only thing I can think of is..
Right click on desktop, Properties>Settings tab>Advanced>Troubleshoot>Adjust Hardware acceleration

See if that does anything.

4. sounds like you need a codec
If it used to play OK but now doesn't, somehow the codec was moved/lost/etc.

I just downloaded this for Winamp, plays .avi files great.
