Can not play videos! 1

[Shindel]

Im back again with more issues.

When ever I try playing a video with windows media, I get a blue screen (cant read what it says, it goes by too fast) and then my computer restarts. So I try a different type of player DivX. That didnt help at all. I then tried to use some quick time format movies and that worked perfectly!!!

Could any one try helping me out???

I lowered the performance, but that is such low quality. Any help!!!

I would suggest you try the freeware Sherlock, to see if you have all the codecs correctly installed...

Gspot will check a file and see if the correct codec for that file is installed...

both you can find GOOGLING...

I would also update the drivers for your graphics hardware....

You can also turn off "automatically restart after an error" so it will just halt at the fault and display the full Stop Error and blue screen.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties .
On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery .
Click to clear the Automatically restart check box under System failure , and then click OK . The error message on a blue screen should remain on the screen so you can record the error information.
