    You want to watch a video on your computer right? And you try to watch it on Windows Media Player... and it doesn't work the way you want it to.

    In other words, I'm having some problems trying to get videos to play on my computer. Only this one's interesting, in that the sound works just fine, it's the video itself that doesn't want to show up. Are there any remedies for this issue? Or for that matter, has anyone else experienced this problem before?

    (By the way, I have no idea if this is the correct forum to post this kind of topic in. Please tell me if I'm wrong)
