Your having codec related problems here not a driver problem. You should run that 6800U on the latest drivers provided by nvidia.com or omegadrivers.net

Uninstall every single codec you can find on your system and then follow a guide to setup a proper codec config on your system. Heres one Praetor wrote.

Codec is basically a short for "Compressor-Decompressor" which is a little software capable of compressing or decompressing a videostream.

I don't know why but I have hunch your dealing with the MPEG2 format here which isn't playable without an MPEG2 decompressor. But have a look at the guide.
