why is it when i play certain videos, the video blinks, like goes black, goes to normal, goes black, goes to normal....

how can i fix it, i got a movie from kazaa, and i really want to watch it, this never happened before??????


plzzzz heeeeeeeeeelp!
 
The only time I've seen this happen is when the spec of the computer has been to low to run the video happily. Other than that I don't know of anything offhand that could be causing your problem.
 
what, i had this computer for like 2 and a half years, never had a problem like this....

i think it started when i installed the new nvidia drivers :(

any way i can fix this??
 
Go back to the drivers that work, just because drivers are newer doesn't mean they're always better :)

When choosing drivers try all the different versions you can get your hands on and pick the ones with the least problems/fastest frame rates.
 
i cant goto the driver before i installed this one, i reinstalled windowsxp, then installed new driver :(( :( :(

any other ideaz :D :D

you can still go back to the old drivers. go to the control panel, >> click system >> click the hardware tab >> click the 'device manager' tab >> double click your video card >> click the driver tab >> and click the 'roll back' button. and reboot.

easy!

good luck

EDIT: what version of detonators are you using now???
 
You can usually find older versions of drivers around. If you've still got the driver CD that came with your card you could try those, else look on Nvidias site to see if the keep an archive of older versions of detonators.

Failing all that you could probably do with upgrading your computer if you've had it for 2 1/2 years :)

What spec is it by the way?
 
nvidia 40.72 driver

got a nvidia tnt2 m64 pentium 800mHz 386mb RAM

that my spec


thznk!!
 
No problem.

The spec of your machine should run videos fine, just tweak the drivers until your happy with them.
 
how do i tweak it to make it not blink??

i think i found some more info, the video only blinks liek that if its compressed, divx, xvid, wmv, ect....

any other ideaz peoples???? :(:(:(
 
thats my thought too, a majority of the movies I find on Kazaa are DIVX avi's. A great many will not play correctly on windows media player. Get the divx codec bundle, and try opening the movie in the divx Player instead.

good luck
 
hi:

use the old windows media player version 6.4

its in your C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe

it works better because its not bulky and is not heavily supporting digital copy protection

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
