Sound only, no video, in WinDVD 8
I have sound only, no video, in WinDVD 8. It was working fine. I am using XP SP2 with a PowerColor x1950 512 MB video card on an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard with 4 GB of RAM. I can play video in other players with no problem.

Unfortunately I change my computer *daily.* I'm always patching something, adding new hardware, removing stuff. Most recently I shifted some DLLs around in the system. I made sure I have the latest Microsoft DLLs in the relevant folders.
The other problem is that I do not know exactly how *long* it has been since it quit working. It could have been a while. I don't watch movies all that often. I can not remember, for example, whether it worked with the new video card. I have also updated the ATI drivers multiple times.
Thank you for your support!

No doubt moving those dll files around has something to do with it.
For someone who tinkers with their computer probably to the same extent as I do, I can only suggest something for the future.
When you do have the computer running correctly again, use Norton Ghost and make a disc image of your hard drive. Unlike Windows System Restore which is very unreliable and probably only turns the computer back a few days, with Norton Ghost you make a snapshot of your hard drive.
You can save that snap shot onto 1 or more DVD discs ad then later restore your computer back to that exact same state as when the snapshot was taken.
Having messed your computer up somewhat the only advice I have to offer is for you to work your way through this link:
