WMV file issues

**Kane Knight** · 04-05-2009, 10:24 AM

I'm running Windows XP SP2 if that helps any.

I get this problem which seems to only happen with WMV videos. When I load them up, the picture is interspersed with "static," like turning to a dead channel on an older TV. It flashes back and forth between them rapidly.

I tried using different video programs, but I get similar issues with several programs, including WinAmp and Media Player Classic. I've tried updating my codecs, which also seems to have done nothing as of yet. I tried googling the problem, but the only results I got were for things that didn't resemble my problem.

Are there any other steps I could take to try and fix the issue?

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
