When I try to play a video all I get is the audio portion
with no video. I upgraded to win media 10 but problem
still persists?

Reinstall latest versiona of:

* your graphics card drivers
* DirectX runtime (full download; not webinstall)

and if these do not work, try installing Windows Media Encoder too.

I have the exact same problem. I tried both suggestions
but still have a dark screen where the video should be.
Any other ideas?

Jim

You (and JimCougar) are just missing the codec required to display the
video. Download and
install the ffdshow codec from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/ Which ever media player you
decide to use will automatically locate and use this codec the next time
you try to play that video file.
