I want to view videos online (news, sports,etc.), and I use Windows Media
Player as my default viewer. I can get the sound, but all I can see is a
green screen. I've tried everything I know to correct it, but nothing seems
to help. Any solutions?
 
Hi Mike :-)

There are a couple of thing you might try:

First, updated your video driver

If you don't know the location of your Video driver, or how to find it:
Location for XP

or......

Find the information on your video driver. Then go to the website for mfg.
of the video driver and look for the update to download and install. There
may also be a Update Driver button on the dialog box you can use to go
direct to the update download site.

also........

Try reducing hardware acceleration:
Right click on the Desktop on an open area,
Properties>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot
Move the slider back to the left a little and test to see if that helps.
Try it at increments until you get all the way to the left end to see if
that helps.

also...see the information here:

Open the Windows Media Play>Help>Check for updates... click it.

Hope this helps.
