Default green screen

For the past few months, when I was hoping to see video, all I received was a
green screen with good adio. Please take me through the steps so I again can
enjoy video on the net.

What are the file extensions of the videos you are trying to play?

Default Similar Problem

I am having the same problem. This just started occurring over the past few
days. My wav files and mp3 files play fine, but any time I click on a video
link, when it plays I get a green screen. This happens on any of the links
on the MSN home page for example. So I think these would be GIF images.

I downloaded Windows Media Player 11 thinking I might just need the newest
version, but it didn't stop the problem. I would greatly appreciate any
help.

Default Similar Problem

Hello,

If there are no other suggestions, try setting the Performance of your video
to a notch lower in

Start Control Panel Display Settings Advanced Troubleshoot

until the problem disappears. (Note that this may affect video game
performance)

Another way is to lower it in Windows Media Player Tools Options
Performance Video Acceleration

Hi, Thanks for the response, but I have no idea what the extensions are. I
downloaded the new windows 11, it did not solve the problem.

Thanks! I had to set it three notches lower before I started seeing videos
again, but this fixed the green screen problem for me!
