I have a geforce 6200 that i just installed into one of my systems. The problem is that any videos..avi, mpeg, etc.i try to play make the computer freeze up. It eventually comes back and has an error and closes the media player.(both divx and MP). Anyone know whats up? I have the newest drivers. The card runs most of my games, but a couple(silent hunter 3) dont work, and i assume its because there is a media player video it plays at the beginning.

p4 2.4ghz
SiS s8x MB
1gig 2700DDR
425watt power supply
8x agp slot

did you make sure and use something like Driver Cleaner to remove all traces of the drivers from the systems old card? If not try that, also remove all traces of your current forceware drivers and reinstall.

EDIT: and if that doesn't work, perhaps a reinstall of Media Player?
 
would it make much difference to use driver cleaner when the previous card was a geforce 4600? ill try it though
 
nope, still the same deal. I renamed the intro videos for SH3 and it runs just great now. Why wont it play videos?..sigh.
 
I guess im the only one with this problem, i cant find anything on it. Anyone know if best buy takes back video cards? Iv got all the stuff with it.
