PowerDVD Problem

[lil_nudistgirl]

I'm using PowerDVD on another computer. When you play a video file, all you get is the background picture when no movie is playing. The background picture of the person wearing sunglasses with the logo at the top left of the screen. I get sound but no picture. I checked under visualization the options are Off or Alchemy>Random. When I choose this, I get what you get in Windows Media Player for background picture wile music is playing, kinda hard to explain. If you goto Windows Media Plauer and set the visualization to random, you get the same thing I get, waves. cool design stuff, funky colors, etc. But on my laptop, when I play a movie or video file on PowerDVD, I get video and sound. But on this computer, you don't get video, only sound. I have the visualization set to Off. Does anyone know what to do?

I would try uninstalling and then reinstalling PowerDVD. Make sure you have a DVD Decoder installed too. You always need one of those to play DVD's no matter what. If you can play a DVD in windows media player but not in PowerDVD, then something is wrong with PowerDVD. Play around with the menus a little bit and see what you get.
