NVidia GeForce 6200A 256Mb PCI card installed and media players hang...

[gonzalezk]

Hello!

I’m running Windows XP SP3 on a Pentium IV - 2.5 Ghz CPU - 2Gb RAM system.

I'm getting a warning from Media Players when i open a video file, doesn't matter the type of file. The Warning pops up telling me (from KMplayer for instance):

"The Overlay mixer could be being used for another program… "
In the same warning window it gives me 8 options to choose from: Default, VMR7, Haali's, VMR9, etc.

It doesn’t matter which one I select (VRM7 Haali’s,etc), my system hangs. The whole system gets like hell slow because The Media Player is sucking 100% of my CPU resources while it was like a charm before this.
(I tried to choose “Old Renderer” option and it works for some file types like .DAT and some .MPGs)

I have only one Media Player opened. What is different from my hardware configuration compared to before (no problems) is that I'm using a new NVidia GForce 6200A 256MB PCI card. Is there a problem with this card or what?

I downloaded the latest NVidia drivers for my card, installed them and it shows no conflics on the system but I'm getting the same error.

Same is happening to me trying to use Windows Media Player.
(If I use WinAmp media player everything runs fine.)
I’d really appreciate any help.

Any ideas?
