hi all

Are you stating that you can play videos stored on your pc, but you cant play them from dvd/cd?

If this is the case, what kind of disc (video cd, dvd, homemade, store bought, etc).

What kind of DVD player do you have?

My son has the same problem running WindowsME... black screen on the media Player, but normal on the TV (his videocard have a TV output).

This was never solved until he upgraded to Windows XP pro.

It depends where they install it. I am not sure. If they say it is a Digital RIghts Management problem, it might be something in the way it was installed. If this is the case, you should get a DRM error.

What format of video is it? It could be you are simply missing the correct CODEC (compression-decompression code) to play the video. You may or may not get a "missing codec" error in WinME.
