This should probably go on the bsplayer forum, but from my experience doom9 has more experts.. here goes:

Win2K sp4 PC with bsplayer 1.39 or 1.41 or 2.10 all showing same symptom that video of: black screen with a few color spots no motion but audio+subtitles play OK.. File plays OK on all other PC's using same bsplayer binary, except the one I really need it to!! I've tried ALL the codecs/filters, ffdshow, 3ivx, xvid, they all do not work with bsplayer on that PC!

On the same system zoomplayer and media player classic as well as from within graphedit and gspot same video file displayes OK; only doesn't work from bsplayer.

Tried removing/reinstalling bsplayer several times with many reboots, no go.

At this point I'm truly at a loss.. must be some deep down registry key missing or something like that.. really appreciate any tips that can help me figure out why this is so.

Rendering mode: Internal renderer overlay (default) is the one that needs to work, but doesn't. otherwise only mode that works is the RGB, but it's very very slow, like frame by frame...

thanks...

*SOLVED*

I can't believe it, spent a few days, and now happy to say I figured it out!!

COLOR DEPTH of video driver!!!

breaks with 24bit, works perfectly with 32bit!! was as simple as that.

right click on desktop->Properties->Settings->Colors->TrueColor 32bit.

If I change it back to 24, again bsplayer doesn't display video for that AVI...

This little trick even works during playback, switch between 24 and 32 breaks and works respectively.
