I have the exact same problem. I tried both suggestions
but still have a dark screen where the video should be.
Any other ideas?

Reinstall latest versiona of:

* your graphics card drivers
* DirectX runtime (full download; not webinstall)

and if these do not work, try installing Windows Media
Encoder too.

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?
