I am experiencing problems after updating my nvidia Forceware driver. I upgraded the driver to 91.31 and videos ceased to play: Windows Media Player, Winamp, and Cinematograph would not play any type of file (although Winamp would play the audio portion). Normal desktop display is fine. Winamp displayed a black screen, the other two a strange array of blurred colors, but no motion. I tried turing off the color temperature setting, as suggested on another tech site, but that was no help. I also installed the Beta driver, 91.33; no improvement. I tried the next oldest driver I could find on the Nvidia site, which was 84.21. I also updated my divx codecs and DirectX 9.0c. Still no luck. I know the Nvidia driver is the culprit, though, because when I uninstall it (and run the card with NO driver, save what WinXP can provide), the videos play fine in all apps. Go figure. Please let me know if any other solutions have been found, and if the 91.28 driver is available anywhere for download.
I was very careful to uninstall earlier versions before installing new ones, and to disable my virus scanner before installing.
My card is a GeForce FX5200, 128 mb BIOS v4.34.20.27.00. AGP card.
Thanks much for any help anyone can offer.
