Get gspot and check your avi files to see if they are encoded using divx or xvid :)\n\nhttp://www.headbands.com/gspot/download.html\n\nIf they are then you will need to download the relevant codec(s) :\n\nfor divx :\n\nhttp://www.divxmovies.com/codec/\n\nfor xvid :\n\nhttp://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/\n\nhope this helps\n\nP.S Just in case you get stuck with gspot here is a mini faq from there site :\n\nhttp://www.headbands.com/gspot/minifaq.html

Most of the time this happens in regular mode and not safe mode, it is a problem with a driver.\n\nGo to safe mode, and do a rollback on your video driver.  That is the most common culperet.  If that is not it, try your other drivers.\n\nYou can also try useing the "Last Known Good" setting, and that will hopefully roll your computer back to before this problem happened.

Change the primary display to the TV screen. \n\nThis happens because the computer (for some reason) can only stream the video to one output. Happens with online windows media player and a projector connected to a laptop.

If you're using Windows XP, try a system restore. If that doesn't work, reinstall your video drivers.

Check out the display properties in control panel.  Some software lets you change the orientation of the screen image.  Otherwise, download any updates and do a thorough virus scan.  It sounds to me like a display properties, or joke program problem....\n\n-Zach

I fully recommend the use of a program Crap Cleaner. Yes! That's the real name! You can download it from www.download.com. Reviews are the best. This program will make your computer fly! It will remove everything and more that you can't see. I discovered it a few months ago. It's free and you won't have to spend any money in expensive software that does not do anything. Download it and get that crap cleaned! (Including those "programs" in your start menu. They are just unused icons)\n\nGood luck..

Hav u tried opening video files with other players? Like mayb winamp or real player?\nHow about when u try to run some computer game? Does the game run without any glitches?\nIf u experience any problem using these applications, u might want to troubleshoot ur graphics card. If this isnt xactly ur cup of cake then i suggest u take ur system back to whr u bought it from and ask them to repair or replace it for u.\nAs u said that it was new, u probably still are in the warranty period so u wont hav to pay anything.\nHope this helps

i think you can go to "Display Properties" then click the "Appearance" tab then select "Effects" then uncheck the appropriate box.

i got a virus that did that. not harmful to the rest of the system but annoying. update your anti-virus and run a scan.

Try lowering your resolution

It should happen in real time.  Give or take...\n\nYou may want to try a different media player to the one you're using - VLC is free and quite good.  Also, is your graphics card a current model with the latest drivers? You should also deactivate all utility software during the process - virus checks, background moitors etc.

sounds like adware ... run Ad-aware and Spybot to get rid of it.
