WMP12 will only play demo video, audio is fine
I recently installed Win7 Ultimate x86 on my Dad's HP Compaq Presario. PC has a 2.2 Gig AMD processor (processor is a 64bit but had glitches when I tried the Win7 64bit OS) w/2GB DDR2 Mem. All drivers are the originals from when the PC had Win XP Home on it, except for what ever Win7 swapped out on install. WMP12 will only play the supplied demo video and that appears as a duo image in a split screen with playback in black and white. Plays ALL audio fine, even CD's. Will Not play any Video DVD's. Installed Power DVD 11 and same problem. Win7 say's something about not enough memory installed and close running programs to free up memory. All programs are closed except WMP12. Have increased page file size to 1024low/8192high and every thing seems to work fine except WMP12 & PowerDVD video. Monitor res is something like 1080x840. Plays YouTube vid and flash just fine on internet w/Adobe Flash11 installed. So, anyone have a clue as to what might be going on? Thank you in advance. This has me stumped, even tried the WMP Fix utility listed in this site. Oh yeah, HP has NO Updated drivers listed for this PC.
