WindowsXP Pro-SP2 and Windows Media Player 10 fails to play

[Guest]

Hello:

Everytime I upgrade to SP2 with Windows Media Player 10 some of the video
available on the web fails to play correctly. The video either plays with
green venetian blinds making the image unwatchable, or it freezes with other
noise or artifacts. This occurs many times although not at every web site.
It fails to display video correctly even from well known and reputable sites
like CNET so this is not an issue of video encoded by "adult sites". I do
not have this problem with WMP 9. Is there an issue with Mpeg 4/Mpeg1
playback on WMP 10 ? Are there issue compatibilities of encoders that work on
WMP 9 but not on WMP 10 ? Please state any solutions possible ? My system is
a clean install and have no issues playing DVDs or other media files local
to my system just video that is streamed via the internet.

PS : All Windows XP upgrades have been applied, no spyware, no viruses, a
clean system, minimal software installed. ZoneAlarm,Norton AntiVirus

Thanks

Any time you see green in a playback or editing window, first assume video
drivers are the fault. Find which video card (or chipset) you have and get
the latest drivers.
