Help! I can't play videos after installing a GeForce 6200 card!?

Question

I have a strange problem. After installing a Nvidia Geforce 6200 card, I can play games fine, but I can't watch videos anymore. Every time a video starts my computer gets horribly stuck (extremely slow...until I shut down the player from the task manager). The same happens when I encounter an embedded video on a webpage.

Here are some things I've tried:
-I have installed the latest drivers for the video card
-I have not installed any codec packs, only the official divx codec
-I already tried using different players, I encounter the same problem with every one
-I have tried every type of file: wmv, avi, divx, xvid, rm...none of them work

When I disable the geforce 6200, I am able to play the video files...though they are slightly choppy.

How can I fix the problem so that I can watch video without having to disable my video card?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I haven't been able to find help for this issue anywhere. Thank you.

Thanks for the replies.

I actually just reinstalled windows yesterday, so I didn't have any drivers left over from a previous card.

I have the PCI version.

My computer is 512mb, 3.02Ghz

I forgot to mention that I am already using WMP10. I will try to get some plugins for it and see if that helps.

And I formatted before reinstalling Windows yesterday, in case that wasn't clear.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

you can play the video file with the card disabled.
that makes me think you haven't initialised the card properly.
something simple like ticking "enable hardware acceleration".
and you have to set the screen resolution.

Answer 2

Did you uninstall the drivers of the previous card? Your computer? There may be a driver conflict. Also, I hate to say it, but how long has it been since you formatted your drive and reinstalled windows? You need to do this sometimes when your registry gets clogged with invalid entries. It's easier than trying to poke around in the registry. I would try uninstalling the old video driver first though. And also look in your hardware manager to see if there are any irq conflicts.

Answer 3

Go get the new WMP. I've got the same card, had the same problem. Download the WMP 10 codecs, and beware the BSoD that you will soon get from the NVS_Disp.dll it's a common BSoD especially with NVida 6200.

Best wishes.
