new video card

i installed a new geforce 6600 video card and now i cant get windows media
player or movie maker to play videos. all other software works fine,
including sony movie editing software. when i try to open a video on movie
maker the computer locks up. any ideas?

did you update the video driver with the latest one available from nVidea
after installing it? the driver was last updated on Oct 20th, just a few
weeks ago...

I downloaded the latest invidia driver and now instead of locking up the
computer crashes. i guess i will just go back to the old video card.
