My wmp was not playing videos properly – sound but no video. So I switched to vlc – great little player – plays everything – until today!

I get a message that my video is broken when I try to open a video in VLC player. I click the try to repair choice but there is no video.

I’ve even done a system restore to last month – it’s still not working. I removed my wmp 9 (because I have wmp 11). Then I got totally fed up – still no video – and tried to remove wmp 11 and I can’t – I just get a message that it will be "rolled back to a previous version on wmp". What is that about?

I feel like umplugging my external 500 gb drive and them "scrubbing" (formating) my hard drives C & F. Maybe even taking this supposidly high end pc with sli platinum board with dual 512mb nvidia video cards and throwing the lot off a nearby cliff and buying a new pc.

Anyone out there know what might be causing this (no video) problem? Could it be a simple thing like a "setting"?

I’m totally frusterated with it……..it’s been going on for a while now. It started with wmp not being able to show video and now it’s spread to EVERY player including VLC.
