flyboy Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I put in a new DVD drive. I can receive audio but when I try to run video it tells me to lower my screen resolution. I do that but it will still not work Quote

flyboy Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 dvds I have downloaded the codecs and I have that media player. Could it be my graphics card? Quote
PseFrank Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I have downloaded the codecs I assume you have installed the codecs? Could it be my graphics card? If you have on board graphics you could try plugging your monitor into that VGA port. Do you see two VGA ports (Usually blue in colour) on the back of your tower. (Assuming a desktop) If you don't already know...on board graphics are part of your mother board. As opposed to a graphics card that can be added via a PCI/PCI-E slot on the mother board.
