I haven't been able to play videos for months now using either Media player 11 or Real Player. When I click on one, the window opens but nothing happens. I'm being sent some great clips and have to send them to someone else so I can watch them on another computer. Don't know when/why this happened and I'm missing out on a lot because of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Try downloading vlc play as it will play everything. Do you find you can hear the sound but can't see the picture. If so then i would look at your graphics card settings or perhaps even reinstall the video driver.

Thanks. Great temporary fix. Found in the process that if I open a video in skin mode, then switch to full, it works. Too bad there's so many steps to get there.
