WMP won't play video anymore

I've got windows media player 12 running on my 751h that is running Tiny 7. I used to be able to play videos on it, but now, when I play the video, it just has the sound, and a black screen where the video should be. I THINK this changed when I updated a driver for the GMA500, but I can't figure out which one I was using when the video worked. I'm going to go search for all of the drivers that I've installed, but in the meantime, is there possibly another reason why its not working?

 

sounds like you should install this

The Combined Community Codec Pack is a simple playback pack for Windows with the goal of supporting the majority of video formats in use today.

 

So, are you running this driver?

 

not so much a driver. but a codec pack. but yes this is what i use. and highly recommend it.

 

I'm a tad nervous about the "Soviet" aspect of the program, seeing as that's where a lot of virus come from.

 

lol its WELL known on the internet.

here is a download link from download.com
