I have only just bought my new laptop which came with vista basic etc, for
some reason when i try to play video's that i have downloaded it gives me
sound but no picture.

how do i rectify this issue?.

also on some occassions when trying to play a video off a site it
disconnects the internet, is this down to the media player as well?
 
the system came with adobe but i have donwloaded a couple of updates, one for
my chipset (965 express) and a couple for my wireless stuff, could this have
somehow altered the media player as it was working prior tot this ok
 
Hello this is a complete answer for all videos you may run into!

download the free divx codec from
www.divx.com

download the xvid codec from
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Koepi_XviD.htm

download real alternative from
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

download quicktime alternative (unless you want to use iTunes, then download
iTunes that bundles the normal quicktime player)
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

the above will handle 90 % of all videos...

for everything else download GOMPLAYER that will play almost anything you
can throw at it
www.gomplayer.com


hope this helps
 
Where did you download them from?
What file extension are they?
What codec(s) do they use?
 
You're listing RealAlternative twice accidentally - I imagine the second one
was meant to be QuickTime Alternative. =\
