video not playing on win7

Yeah, I have the same issue... A temporary fix is using the generic VGA drivers, system doesn't hang with those... BUT Win7 thinks my video isn't up to snuff for the Aero Glass visual styles, so I can't have those. I tried XP drivers, they work until I try and do full screen video OR Live Messenger (which is suuuper strange).. I've also tried Vista drivers, I got the blue screen of death. So to temporarily solve your issue upgrade your driver, choose "I want to pick a device from a list" and pick "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and reboot... should be good to use.

What video hardware?

You're probably using XDDM Drivers.... It's been an issue with this beta... the only solution here is to have a WDDM-compliant graphics card.

Try using overlays on MPC.

I have NO idea what your talking about.. I'm not that deep into computers.. I know the basics really.

Its a SiS Ultra256 chip set, according to the specs on my board.

The SiS Ultra256 graphics core otherwise known as the Mirage 2 is integrated into the SiS 760 chipset. I found a driver that's supposed to work on 7 from the Windows Update Catalog and uploaded it here http://tr.im/baarod

Please read the post made by Chappy here about playing media files in WMP and using a Windows 7 Codec Pack. Information here might provide the key in answering the faults in the issues you've encountered.

Thanks for that info.. It came up as Mirage 2 when I installed my XP drivers. I tried to use the driver you sent me, but I think that was designed for 64bit operation, I am using 32bit... my bad, shoul dhave told you that. Do you have the 32bit version of those drivers?

I verified the driver package is definately for Windows 7 32-bit. I uploaded XP drivers that might work because they were only a few months old.

If you need help loading the drivers let me know and I can post step by step instructions.
