Help CANT PLAY VIDEOS

k. i just got a new 6600 gt video card and i installed it. In the process...one of my harddrives broke so i installed windows into the other one. I start up my computer and everything is fine. I try to open a video wit winamp or windows media player classic or the regular one and it doesnt work. All of a sudden, my cpu usage starts going to 100 percent and it juss stays there and i have to go to task manager to end it. A lil help wud be appreciated. btw i installed the latest drivers for the video cards and codecs. Also i got all windows updates..

 

Normally I don't give out these sorts of recomendations, but, if you just recently installed Windows and it is not working properly, I would say to just format and reinstall (again). May save you time and headaches.

 

fine.lol

 

oNe question ...i gotta lot of valuable music in this drive...do i have to reformat it???? or can i juss install windows.????

 

Maybe you should try players like vlc or power dvd,the usually play when others dont.And no dont format the valuable files.You can do a repair install,if nothing else works.
