green screen

[Guest]

For the past few months, when I was hoping to see video, all I received was a
green screen with good adio. Please take me through the steps so I again can
enjoy video on the net.

What are the file extensions of the videos you are trying to play?

I am having the same problem. This just started occurring over the past few
days. My wav files and mp3 files play fine, but any time I click on a video
link, when it plays I get a green screen. This happens on any of the links
on the MSN home page for example. So I think these would be GIF images.

I downloaded Windows Media Player 11 thinking I might just need the newest
version, but it didn't stop the problem. I would greatly appreciate any
help.

Hello,

If there are no other suggestions, try setting the Performance of your video
to a notch lower in

Start > Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot

until the problem disappears. (Note that this may affect video game
performance)

Another way is to lower it in Windows Media Player > Tools > Options >
Performance > Video Acceleration

Hi, Thanks for the response, but I have no idea what the extensions are. I
downloaded the new windows 11, it did not solve the problem.

Thanks! I had to set it three notches lower before I started seeing videos
again, but this fixed the green screen problem for me!
