Windows XP SP 2 using WMP 11 to watch a DVD, or a video clip the movie
will
play for 30 seconds or so and then the screen goes blank. The audio
continues, but I'm staring at a slightly grey screen. No other way to
stop
it other than to turn the computer off. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Also, tried to use CyberLink Power DVD to view the DVD, same thing.
After a
brief viewing, the screen goes blank, but the audio continues.

Quicktime video files work fine, FLV files work fine.

Not enuff info.
Why haven't you updated to SP3 - You should.

Why? Updating to SP3 caused unwanted issues on all 3 PCs that I updated.
Fortunately, I can state that the one thing about SP3 that does work well -
is its own uninstall routine. While SP3 works for some people, there are a
significant number for whom it causes problems.
