Only one frame of the video is displayed

[youssef 2010]

I recently bought a new Samsung 23" LED monitor and connected it using HDMI. Just now when I was trying to play a video file in Windows media player, only the first frame is displayed. If I keep resizing the window, the video plays normally and stops when I let go of the mouse. This issue happens with Media Player classic too. Strangely, Media Center has no issues playing whatever I throw at it and VLC is not affected at all. I uninstalled the K-lite Mega Codec Pack, downloaded the latest version of it and reinstalled it to no avail. I really can't think of any reason for this and would appreciate any help this community can provide.

My Setup:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE @3.2 GHz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V6 GT
GPU: MSI HD 6950 Unlocked to 6970
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (790X chipset)
Ram: 2x4GB DDR 3 G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz
PSU: Seasonic J-Series 750W
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB, WD Caviar Green 1TB
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Edition 120 GB
Case: CM Storm Sniper
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster S23A350H
Mouse: ROCCAT Kone [+] Gaming Mouse
OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit

Issue resolved by installing a year-old version of K-Lite.

Any explanation for this glitch would be appreciated

Was this happening to every video you tried or just one?

If one, or even a few but not all, could be the codec or options used to encode the video could not be played properly by the programs that had issues.

It was happening on every video played by Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic. While the audio was unaffected, only the first frame was displayed.

Issue was resolved. Turns out the PC just needed restarting after installing the latest display drivers.

Sorry to have bothered you and thank you for your help
