[Guest]

Hi,

When I try to watch video clips on the internet I can hear the sound track
but there is no image. Any ideas on how to rectify this. Running XP Pro with
WMP.

Thanks

Either turn off Internet Connection Sharing or manually specify the speed of
your connection in the WMP Tools>Options>Performance settings. (If WMP is
detecting an incorrect line speed, the Windows Media Server may helpfully
try to thin out the stream coming into your computer, which means that
you'll lose quality and possibly the video. Manually specifying the
connection speed will prevent this from happening accidentally. Also try the
information here

What type of clip? (avi, mpeg, wmv, etc.)
If .avi, it may be a Divx video. If so you will need to download and
install the Divx codec from here:

No need to install the Player, just the codec.(you will be given the option)
