Movies will play but there is no video, only Audio

I tried to play Movies like MPEGs, AVIs using Realplayer, Windows Media
Player and DIVX Players and all i got are sounds. There is no Video at all.
Quicktime will play movies but only .MOV files. It will hang up when playing
MPEG or AVI movies. I have to shut down the Quicktime Player (usual CTRL+ALT
+DEL) because it will not close.

MPEG2 files need DVD decoding software such as PowerDVD
(www.gocyberlink.com) or WinDVD (www.intervideo.com). AVI files are usually
compressed and need the appropriate codec installed... usually DIVX
(www.divx.com) or XVID (www.xvidmovies.org).
