    Windows Media Player problem

    I have an HP Windows XP laptop. I have all updates and protection for my problem, so I know my issue is not that. Recently, my wmp won't play any streaming videos without the screen playing just blank material. The sound goes through, but the video does not. I have even uninstalled wmp and reinstalled it and have even tried upgrading to the new 11th Ed. It is only a problem with wmp, and not with Real Player or any other media player software (including other internet streaming media players). Nothing has worked to solve my problem. I think I have all of the current video drivers. If you can help me, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

    Try downloading and installing the WM9 codec pack, that should cure the problem.
