Hi
I've been using a laptop as a HTPC connected to a 32" samsung series 4 Tv, suddenly in some media players the video is blank and only audio plays.. in Zoom Player the top fifth of the video playback lags behind the rest of the screen.. this is visible on the laptops screen and on the external display (also blank video in some media players).
I've had this problem before some months ago on the same laptop-without the usage of an external display... creating a new user account and reinstalling all codecs seemed to fix it but this isn't working this time. When I RADMIN into the laptop on my desktop the video is visible on my desktops screen but not on the laptops screen in some video players....
Laptop: Acer Aspire 5315,Vista Home Basic,Celeron 1.86ghz,Intel X3100IGP,1GB ram
I'm about to try reinstalling drivers (maybe I did that last time to fix it).. want to know if this is related to vistas DRM and if there is a fix for it or not... the videos are just H264 free podcasts.
Edit: reinstalled drivers (latest ones) no effect.. going to install+use XP until I've got a Vista fix .
