Some of your video codecs have been deleted or "unassociated" due to the installation or uninstall of some program.  \n\nTry downloading the XP codec pack at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm

If the initial picture comes up on screen, and it's a divx file, try using divx player. If still doesn't play, give up. Divx files tend to have problems with video on older comps. Otherwise right click on the screen, check the video properties, that will give you the reason for the error and/or the codec that's required

Try updating your web cam drivers themselves and be sure all other applications are closed. You can also try another video conference software like iVisit for instance that is GREAT and FREE!

is the video integrated into the motherboard or do you have a seperate card for video? If it is integrated I would say replace the whole motherboard, if you have already updated drivers...unless of course you cannot even see the boot screen before the operating system is loaded, if you cannot see the boot screen; it is definitely a video issue and not a driver issue. If it is ia seperate video card, then replace that and see if it happens still. Most likely it is a bad graphics card.

Sounds to me like your video drivers are shot; if you change the resolution as others are describing but it won't hold, that would be the cause.\n\nYou need to reinstall your video drivers. You can get instructions on how to do that, plus the drivers, through the support and download section of your computer manufacturer's Web site.

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.

Try updating the video card drivers. Check the hard drive for errors, some files may be crosslinked. If nothing else it may be your card.

I tried using that like 5 tiomes and it always crashed on me. My best advice, buy a video editing progam that works. I use Pinnacle Studio 8.

I've had this happen. If you haven't already, download DivX from downloads.com. You need a different video codec to properly view the problem. For me, DivX has always downloaded the proper codec as part of it's program. If that doesn't work just try downloading codecs on their own.

what program are you using to play them and how old is your computer? the avi file may also be bad and thats why it does that.
