COMPUTER SAVVY PEOPLE!!!
HELP!!!!
I cannot use *ANY* of my players
Winamp -- Shows nothing but a solid magenta screen (audio only) then gives an error message and shuts down
Windows Media -- Colors all fucked up and then when you turn it off gives you an error message
DIVX - tells me can't play an AVI file and then when you turn it off gives you an error message
VLC - Colors also all blue
Real Media - Colors all blue (But only plays .rm files anyway. And .rm files also all blue)
All of them are either not showing the picture AT ALL on my AVI files *OR* when I play them all the colors are like BLUE (Skin/Hair etc..)
I've just reinstalled ALL the codecs I could find on the web - updated ALL the players to the current versions trying to cure this sudden problem
This was working 2 weeks ago the ONLY thing I've installed since the last time I used the players was POSER 4 (and a crap load of it's plugins) on my computer.
*cries*
what could be causing this? Anyone know how to troubleshoot this conflict?
Help me pretty please I'm LOST.
*whimpers -- I wanna catch up on my shows and Can't watch ANYTHING.

THank you anonymous person
1) Run a virus scan. Hell, run two of them. If you have a program installed already, run that; then go to Trendmicro and run their online virus scan.
2) Run a spyware searching program like AdAware or Spybot, or both. (If you don't have one, go to Lavasoft to get AdAware)
3) Run a registry fixing tool, if the first two steps do not fix whatever is wrong.
I hope that helps some. ;;crosses fingers for luck for you;;
2.) Have Spy Sweeper (Better than AdAware/Lavasoft) I had those, and when I got spy sweeper it found on the first scan 149 spybots LAVASOFT SUCKS. I've been running Spy Sweeper months now-- Runs ALWAYS in the background like Norton and des full sweep every Friday @ 8PM
It's not either of those thing my computer is clean as a whistle.
Something, some .dll file SOMEWHERE (I assume it's in POSER 4 or one of the Plugins for the program It's the ONLY thing I changed/added) I know is the cuplrit, I just don't know which ONE.
*cries*
I haven't noticed any video playback problems on this compy (other than I never seem to have the right codec) but, I don't really use it for entertainment that much. We have a computer in the other room used to play movies and DVD's and to play on the internet. So, if there is some kind of software issue between Poser and your video stuff, I have no idea what it might be... I *do* know that Poser 5 caused some issues on my computer which will eventually require a complete system wipe which I've been putting off for months, and I *would* have Ebayed P5 (still have the box and everything) if it weren't for the fact that it's going to get me a HUGE discount on P6/Shade. If I buy it. (Waiting for beta test results to come in before I make another $100 commitment.)
You could always do a system rollback to before you installed Poser, and see if that fixes the problem.
Like Spubba said, a rollback might help.. .dll files can be tricky bastards.

I really do not know much about how to fix shit that goes wrong with computers. I lived with a computer whiz (Jayme) for 3 years! I still don't know diddle squat about computers!
