OK folks, heres the deal. I have poured over many forums over the past few hours and still cant fix my problem. I can't see the video on downloaded clips or movies using any of the players I have installed WMP11, WInAmp 5.5, VLC, or Real Player. All I hear is sound. I have re-installed everything as well as getting the latest drivers for my video card (NVIDIA 6800). I have also cleaned out all codec packs and then reinstalled just the K-Lite mega whatever codec pack. Still nothing. I repeated this process with a few other highly recomended codec packs to no avail. I also went into the NVIDIA control panel to see if I could change any options for my monitor but that wasn't any help either. I always back up when using my cc cleaner so I tried re integrating those back-ups in case that was the problem...nope. I have always used WimAmp and cant remember exactly when it and my other players went to sound only as I dont use them every day. On site streaming video like You Tube is fine but saved clips will not play. Oh, and one more oddity; Quick Time has no problem showing videos in the format that it recognizes but thats a bit limited. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Codecs? http://www.codecguide.com/ Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Codecs was my first thought but as i mentioned, I tried a few different packs one at a time from http://www.free-codecs.com/download... , to no avail. I've tried a number of different clips and none will show video with any of my players using either k-lite full or XPcodec pack.

Sorry, didn't read your post properly. Try Gspot to see if you have the correct codecs. Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Thanks for the heads up on Gspot Clive. It's a cool little gadget indeed. Well, I ran it and it seems that I do have the codecs needed. I think I'm gonna try to uninstall my video card driver and install an older version. Maybe my "updated" driver is the problem. Knowing it's not a codec issue really helps me redirect my thought process (giving direction to my thought process is always a good thing, lol). Thanks again. I will keep this thread updated.
