Post by: traffic1987 on January 07, 2009, 06:33:06 PM
Hello i hope this is the right place to post this.

Im currently running on windows XP.
I just transferred my computer from my old tower to a new one.
i added a new sound card and a new power supply.
i also have added a new lcd monitor.

Everything was working fine on my old computer, but as soon as i upgraded ive been having some problems playing movies.

As soon as i double click a movie icon i wish to watch it opens the file and enlarges it to full screen for me. when i double click during the movie to pause or unlarge or use the control panel it does not work. the only way i can exit the movie is to press alt f4.

I have tried to use different media players such as windows media player to nero showtime and all have the same effect.

Can someone please give me some advise on what to try next?

If anymore information is required about my computer please let me know.
