I can't see videos anymore!

[cece0808]

I bought today Two Worlds pc-game and I had some problems running it at first. I read some forums and I found out that I was supposed to get TWVC1Codec_x86.msi and run it. I did this and now I cannot watch any videos at all! I use media player classic and I have XP Codec Pack installed (I even reinstalled it and the divx codecs after the .msi file) but I still can't see any vids anymore. When I open any video file (.avi, .wmv, .mov, .hdmov) the MPC runs normally and begins to play the file but I can't see any image. Sounds work on the video files although.
I'm not guru on these things so PLEASE can anyone give any CLUES what to do next?!

Thank you

Most likely a problem with your overlay settings. First thing to try is 'Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot'. Move the 'Hardware acceleration' down to about one-third and try it again.

You may also be able to adjust your overlay settings directly if you click on your video card tab and look for 'Overlay'.

If you get no where with overlay, get back to us.
