Can't play MP4 video files in Windows media player.
Up until recently I was able to play MP 4 video files in Windows media player 12 no problems at all but of late I get volume without any picture followed by an inevitable freeze. I then have to go to the task manager to stop it. It is OK at playing AVI files but I have resorted to using another player (VLC) for MP4.
I have recently switched to a solid-state drive and I thought that may have been the culprit for reasons beyond my knowledge but I reinstall Windows on a SATA drive and experienced exactly the same problems. Have another computer running Windows 7 with no such issues. I should also say that for the first time I have experienced a green screen when playing Flash content on the Web, don't know whether the two are connected.
I kind of miss being able to use the one player for everything so any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
