Can't watch avi's/mpegs on new card
Hi all
I recently installed a GeForce 7600 GS, made by BFGTech, replacing a GeForce 5900. My problem is I can no longer watch AVI's or MPEGs. Media Player locks up and I have to shut it down with Task Manager. I've tried other players and no luck. When I boot in safe mode, the videos play. They also play after I uninstall the card and use the windows generic drivers. I'm assuming it's a problem with the video codecs, either new ones being installed, or a condflict with the ones I have and your card. I've emailed the amnufacturer's tech support, but though I'd try here as well. I'd appreciate any help.

If you've ever installed one of the hacked/cracked/crap codec packs (K-lite, Nimo -- ESPECIALLY Nimo) etc, try uninstalling it. Or it's possible only a complete reformat and reinstall of Windows will fix the codec problems.

Thanks again.
