hi there!
i've got a problem noone seems to know an answer for...
i cannot play wmv-encoded video-files on my system. if i try to, the player
opens, shows the first frame of the video (but ONLY the first one - no
animation...) and plays the sound normally.
after this point, i cannot do ANYTHING with my system.
- closing the player causes the system to freeze immediately
- trying to do anything else with the system (eg opening the startmenu)
causes the system to "prentend" to be busy for about 10 seconds, then
freezing completely
- if i do not do anything, the system freezes after approx. 20 seconds.
by "system freeze" i mean that i cannot move the mouse, the keyboard is
dead, and waiting several minutes is NOT a solution
this problem is reproducable. it appears every time i try to play a video
file.
this is what i tried so far:
- downloaded all the latest drivers and product updates for windows
(windowsupdate), updated the drivers and codecs
- uninstalled unneeded or unknown codecs (in fact i dont have a codec pack o
so installed. the only manually installed codec is divx6. there were no
other codecs installed in the past)
- tried several other players. all players have the same problem.
- performed a system-rollback to wmp9, then trying without success, then
reinstalling wmp10 - no success
- tried to play the wmv-files on another system -> no problems at all
best of all:
yesterday evening i played one wmv-file with wmp10 without any problems.
after that i shutted the system down. now after restarting the system this
morning, the same file is unplayable on my system
this problem appies to ALL wmv-files. this ist NOT a DRM-problem!
someone knows a solution? a hint? an idea where the problem might originate
from?
thanx in advance!
btw: my system:
amd 2600+
nforce2
512mb ram
radeon 9800pro
sb audigy2
windows xp sp2 with all updates
all drivers are up-to-date
