Everytime I try to play a movie on it has no visual ,only sound. It will play the whole movie without picture.I deleted the media player and its doing the same all over again. I just got the computer and it played fine before. Can someone please tell me what to do? I want to watch my Superman and I can hear it but not see and its driving me crazy.

When media player opens it just shows a little white square with a red "X"
This means that media player can't properly load the media. It could be that media player has lost it's associations to another program such as Quicktime, WinAmp or Real Player. To restore the associations:
For Windows Media Player 8
Open up Windows Media Player from the Start Menu (Click on Start Menu, and then All Programs, click to open Windows Media Player).
On the WMP menu, go to Tools -> Options
Click on the "File Types" tab
Make sure there is a check next to "Windows Media file", "Windows Media audio file", and "Windows Media audio/video file"
Click the "OK" button to save the changes.
For Windows Media Player 7
Open Windows Media Player from the Start Menu (Click on Start Menu, and then All Programs, click on Windows Media Player to open).
On the menu go to Tools -> Options
Select "Options" and click on the "Formats" tab.
In the "Available File Formats" section, make sure that at least the "Windows Media file", "Windows Media audio file", and "Windows Media audio/video file" check boxes are selected.
Press the "Ok" button, close out of Media Player and any browsers you have open.
For Windows Media Player 9, follow directions for WMP 8. This should clear up your problem.

yeah, seriously, it might be a missing codec. if you downloaded it off limewire or a torrent or something, it's probably Divx. download the codec, install it, and you'll be able to hear and play superman

You're probably missing a codec - use e.g. GSpot to find out what the missing codec for your movie is.

I have not had luck with that either. Have you tried Nero; that is usually installed with the computer. I gave up on windows.
