My dad wanted to upgrade his graphics card. He bought a Geforce 6200 to replace his Geforce ti4200.
We used driver cleaner in safe made to make sure everything was cleaned out. There was nothing in the system. Installed the new card, booted in safe mode checked driver cleaner again then installed the latest drivers. Direct x 9.0c is also installed.
The card works perfectly. The only problem arises he attempts to play movie files. He has an avi on the machine. When he opened it with media player the thing just froze, it was drawing everything really slowly and remained like that even when media player shut down. Only a reboot solved the problem.
We then tried the avi with Videolan ,this time we got the sound of the movie, no picture and everything was redrawing slowly! Games work fine, Tiger Woods 07 was tested, no problems or slowdown. Put the Geforce ti4200 in and the movie played no problem at all.
Struggling for ideas here. anyone came across this problem before? Cheers for any help offered.
