DVD Playback Vista Ultimate

I cannot get any dvds to play properly, the picurte is not displayed on any
player I have tried, sound yes, picture no. This applies to any video file as
well as dvds.

I have downloaded codec after codec still no joy and have the Nvidia decoder
installed.

Any ideas as to why and what I can do about it

I know that some versions of Vista do not have the codec in MP11, you would
have thouht the full blown suppsoedly super duper version would have.

IN the UK we have a law called the Trades Description Act as MP11 is been
shipped as capable of playing DVDs and quite clearly cannot on its own
without some extra expense plugin, it could be argued that it falls foul of
the fit for purpsose clauses in that law as it is not fit puprose on its own.

==================================
Maybe you need to install an updated video driver.

Also...the following free player might be worth a try:

VideoLAN VLC media player

Already tried VLC, havent changed the gpu drives though, what difference will
that make, the drivers are fairly up to date. I have even tried Klite and the
Classic Media player.

Updating the GPU driver has done it, thanks overlooked the simplest thing.
