For some reason, I am unable to watch videos online that has windows media player as its default player. For example, every time I try to play videos on the msn video webpage, I can hear the audio, but cannot see any video. I experienced this same problem while trying to watch a video on PBS.com. Please tell me what is wrong, I only experience this problem when trying to play videos online.

This problem happens to me once in a while too, I have NO idea why. It may be because of a glitch in my video card, or a memory issue, or some other random Microsoft bug. But this works for me:
Try to simply drag another window (like, go to start > run and use that box) over the area where the video should be, and then dragging it away. I know this sounds extremely stupid, but try it.
When you remove the window, it forces the video card to re-draw what was there, and only then will you see the video.
You may have a problem completely different than mine, and if so this wont work. However, let me know if it does, i thought it was only my computer that did that!

get more info on the microsoft website but maybe there is something required to play the video which got mistakenly erased. You should try a system restore.

have you not learned any thing yet,,,,, before you download anything onto your computer and install it you should always do your home work first... meaning check out what problems there are with the software, I would say go back to the version you know that works ok
and stay with it
