I have buch of video files in MPEG1 which i'l like to watch with my XP pro Media Center. Audio is running well but no video, just black screen. Also I'm getting Messenger failure message saying "media center was unable to open messanger". My video card is Radeon 2600xt 512pe2.
Thanks everybody.
What DVD decoder are you running?
Any codec packs installed?
Any audio when playing mpegs?
The Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility helps you determine if an MPEG-2 video decoder (also called a DVD decoder) is installed on your Windows XP computer and whether or not the decoder is compatible with Windows Media Player 10 and Windows Media Center Edition.

You need to install one of the three Win DVD, Power DVD or Nvidia DVD decoder.
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!! I GOT IT WORKING.
