Everytime I go to play a video file (specifically and MPG or a DVD) the visual for the movie will not play unless I keep the mouse activally moving around the screen. The second I stop moving the mouse the visual will freeze and the audio and progress will continue to move.

No help? I’m wondering if it may be the new omega drivers I installed onto my computer. Or my attempt at upgrading windows media player.

I have the same problem!

I have installed the omega drivers because, i couldn’t play Call of Duty with the ATI drivers.
But now i can’t play any movie!

I hope that someone could help!!!
(dienstalling and installing drivers when i want to watch a movie isn’t a fine solution :-p )

I’m also having the same problem, i’m trying to edit a film and its pissing me off. every once in a while it will return to normal at startup but then it does it again.

Yah omega drivers were definately my problem, i uninstalled them and installed the orig ones from the manf. and it worked fine, no problem at all. I dont know if there is some setting you can play with in the omegas but its too bad cause i love omega drivers for there performance and stability for gaming. anyways, lata, hope this helped.
