HI, i'm new to this forum and am at my wits end with the XFX GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR3 AGP card i just bought. My old graphics card is an nforce2 integrated into the motherboard. AFter a lot of frustration--turning bios to agp/integrated, buying a new powersupply (computer had 250watt needed 350), deleting all old graphic drivers--it seemed the new 6600 card still didn't work. I was testing it by playing videos. When a windows media player file is played the computer basically freezes, and i checked the cpu usage during the freeze at it is at 100 for the media player. Thats when i tried testing my direct X (which i updated) and it worked fine. So i tried a game and the card worked fine. It was quite an upgrade graphically from my old card. But i still can't get my computer, with the new card, to play any windows media files, real player files, or any video whatsoever. Any idea why my card can play games (half life 2, world of warcraft) great, but can't play movies at all? I looked at Nvidia settings and couldn't find anything that might solve the problem. It also seems my computer recognizes my new graphics card only, according to device manager. I'm stumped and EXTREMELY frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
