When I try to play a video all I get is the audio portion
with no video. I upgraded to win media 10 but problem
still persists?

You (and JimCougar) are just missing the codec required to display the
video. Download and
install the ffdshow codec from he
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/ Which ever media player you
decide to use will automatically locate and use this codec the next time
you try to play that video file.
