[SOLVED] no video , audio playing in every player (VLC,WMP,Mplayer)

[St Devious]

Whenever i try to play any video file in my PC , i get a black screen , but the audio plays . and this is happening in every player , like mplayer , vlc , wmp .

EDIT : Ok, i solved it . i had 2 monitors connected , and i was viewing the video on secondary monitor . SO i took out one monitor and everything is fine now .

Hi!

Is this something that has just recently changed?

If so, have you installed new hardware or software?

Have you changed any settings on any video-related software?

Have you tried performing a "System Restore" back to the last time things were working properly?

Glad to hear you've resolved your dilemma ;>}

You can probably get it to work on the second monitor, if you want to keep it that way, by changing the renderer from Overlay/Default to VMR9 or EVR in mpc. In VLC I think it's called directx9, and I don't know how to do it in WMP. Alternately, you can just swap primary & secondary.
