Contents/MONITOR pane

[Guest]

HP Laptop. Windows Media Centre Edition.

I IMPORT material from camcorder through preview pane.
Movie will not change Imported Material to clips. Dividing Imported
tape into clips, in collection Pane. The clips will not PLAY in Monitor PANE.
Seek bar tells me they ARE PLAYING but nothing is happening.
Could someone advise please...........Darcy

that sounds like what mine is doing also. if you drag a clip down to the
story board will it then play in the window? mine does but not if you just
play a clip by itself. maybe someone will chime in and help us. mine are
in wmv format so they should play. they worked up until I rebuilt my
computer to the core 2 duo system. good luck maybe someone can help us.

I tried a hole bunch of crap and finally did what I read about first but
didnt think that would be it cause its always been there. I turned the
hardware accleration down to one below half way and that turns off
directdraw. dont know what that means but it worked.

for those that experience it. right click your desktop, settings, advanced,
troubleshooting then turn the slider down for the hardware acceleration......
thanks for all the help... yall rock.

==============================
FWIW...reducing the graphics hardware
acceleration may not the actual *fix*...it
is merely a way of testing to see if your
Video Driver needs to be reinstalled or
updated.

I would suggest that you go to the support
website of your video adapter's mfg. and
search for drivers.

If you don't know the make and model of
your video adapter...check the documentation
that came with the computer.

Also you could try these steps...
Go to...Start / Run...type...
msinfo32 ...press enter.

On the System Information screen...choose...
Components / Display...

You should find the make and model of your
display adapter as well as the driver version.

If the driver on the support website is more
current than the one you are running...
download it and install it. Also, installation
instructions which should be closely followed
should be available at the support site.

Once the new video driver is installed...you
can reset your Acceleration to Full.

I did update the driver with the one that was released on feb 22 on ati's
site and still a no go so I guess for now when I need to make a movie I will
just turn it down. I built my computer last month and all the drivers were
updated in the middle of january too.
