ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, and will not play videos on Vista? - 2008/01/14 13:36 Hi, I am having a problems with my graphics card, an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. When I plug it in to my monitor via the DVI cable it will play games like Call of Duty 4 fine but will not play any videos or mp3's in Real Player, Windows Media Player or any media player at all. However when I disable the graphics card by plugging my monitor in via the VGA rather than DVI socket everything works fine. I spoke to Dell and they said I needed to re-install Vista but I think it is a problem with the graphics card rather than Vista. Can anyone please help Thanks...

Re:ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, and will not play videos on Vista? - 2008/01/14 18:55 Well, I must say I have come across such an issue some time ago on a laptop and I can tell you that it was not the graphics card at all but a problem with the operating system that was fixed by either re-installing the operating system and on another by applying pending patches and fully removing Windows Media Player and getting the latest version... So as Dell mentioned, I doubt as well that it would be the video card.

Re:ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, and will not play videos on Vista? - 2008/01/15 15:53 Thanks for your help. So it looks like reinstalling Windows Vista is the best way to go unfortunatly. Got some work to do then...

Yes, that is what I think, although I would also check first if by completely uninstalling the media players and just installing the latest version of one to see if that works would also be a good option. Cause you never know that one media player corrupted all... That can happen and well I would try that before a full reinstall of Windows.
