Okay. Here's the deal - I cannot watch any video of any kind with any video software on my computer.
If I open a player, and attempt to play something, the actual video screen in the program will stay black (or in QT's case, white), and the progress bar will advance very jerkily. After a few seconds of this, the program tends to freeze totally and makes my computer have an awful fit. I can ctrl-alt-del and close it without repercussions, though.
This is the same anywhere and with anything; in-browser videos on myspace will freeze firefox, for example.
The only recent change I've made was to install a new video card (GF 6600) and drivers. I've tried rolling back to a previous driver set AND reinstalling Direct X 9.0c, but no dice.
Any ideas? I mean goddamn, this is driving me crazy. Someone must have an idea :(
