My computer is fairly new, I bought it back around November, but whenever I try to play certain videos online it won't work. All that shows up on my computer is a green screen. I can hear whats going on in the movie, but I can't see it. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

You need to install Media Flash player 9.0 or install a video card.

I have seen this before too.\nHave you re-booted the PC? Usually this will fix it. But also try shutting off Bearshare, then deleting the movie, and then turn Bearshare back on(if needed)

try getting a free copy of VLC media player. it will play just about anything there is, or look for the codecs for avi and the type of mpeg you are trying to play on line, download them and put them in the codec foldae in windows media player

This problems depends on 2 conditions:\n1st : You media player version, better to be 9 or 10 and some movie need codecs [Like DivX movies' codecs] to be played .\n2nd : You are streaming a movie . . . that will need a faster connection, I think dial up will be useless to stream videos online.

Sounds like youre not waiting for the video to load and the buffer doesnt catch up with the playing. Try waiting for the page to load before playing a video.

Quite possibly, you don't have a correct CODEC. Try this:\nConnect to the internet and try to play the file again. If an error message comes up, click on Web Help. Quite possibly, you'll be taken to this page http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/codecs.aspx\nYou should be able to download the correct codec from there.\nHope that helps you out.

Is the video your trying to play something of the internet like streaming video. It might not be your computer, it could be that the server that distributes the video may be down temporarily.

Check to see if you have directX 9.0 installed. Go to www.microsoft.com and click on the link for updates. Have it scan your computer and then download the required updates. \n\nSometimes if you do not have service pack 2 it will not allow you to run video... Often though, the web site may recognize that you need a specific program or setting to work and inform you.

Un-install the BS Player 4 sure.   \n\nTry using the mplay2.exe, it uses Windows MCI to play AVI files, if you get nothing you know that windows multimedia has been corrupted.\n\nInstall the Nemo codec pack, it contains lots of standard codecs.\nIn your case it'd be best to start fresh, so try restoring your registry to before the power failure happened.

Are you using the onboard video card or are you using a dedicated card.  If you are attempting to use the onboard video then try putting in a dedicated video card.  If you are using a dedicated video card now then try putting in a different one or try using the onboard video and see if it works.

looks like your machine doesn;t have space to run video, even when you wath the video it makes a temparay files in your system, so first you make space some space in your system and then try to see the videos. \nGoto\nTool<Options>General>\nDelete cookies\nDelete files\nClear history\n\nmove all your peronal data(songs,docs,games..) to non windows partition.

Try to find out what the Codec is. Sometimes the video maybe a dummy without a header code, thus being generally unplayable by any computer.\n\nI suggest if you know anything about PC programming, get a HEX editor and check the header code for the Codec format. That takes a lot of work and I only suggest it if you have no other option. P2P programs like Limewire are becoming increasingly less helpful now that the media bigwigs are cramping down on us.

It sounds like you are playing a file the protected, and you need purchase a license before you can play it.  Try to a play another media file from your computer and see if it works.

maybe theres something wrong with your monitor \nor \nin media player i will need to install a specific codec (like divx, xvid etc.)

Yeah I've had that happen make sure all your media software is up to date (ex shockwave, adobe, etc) and just like everything else sometimes YouTube malfunctions. If everything is up to date send an email to the YouTube tech crew and check it out tomorrow. Good Luck!

Did you try restarting the player?  Sometimes it could just be a streaming error, where it has nothing to do with you or your computer.  I would try to restart it, and if that doesn't work, then I have no clue. LOL

Try any of the following:\n\nWrong CodDecs:\n\nThere are lots of movie formats. The most popular ones are .avi, .mov. wmv, .asf and .mpg. \n\n.avi = DivX --> www.divx.com\n.mov=QuickTime format --> www.apple.com/quicktime/\n.wmv, .asf and mpg are native to Windows Media Player.\n\nJust download the right codecs from the sites I specified. :D\n\nWrong Players:\n\nUse the right players for the format you're trying to play. Do note that if you have the CoDecs installed then Windows Media Player would do.\n\nReally, really, really old display cards:\n\nThis is a bit far out, but if you're using really old display cards, like the 4bit ones like the old SiS or S3 cards. You ran a chance of the movies not playing. Especially if you're running them in 800 x 600 resolution. Your hardware can't accomodate that load. If this is the case, please change your display card.\n\nReally, really, really old monitors:\n\nSame case with the old display cards, old monitors won't do it either. Change your monitors.\n\nDrivers for your display card:\n\nYou might be using drivers supplied by your OS. Try downloading the correct driver for your display card be it 98, XP, Linux whatever. :D Hope this helps.
