Double image side-by-side (1 Viewer)

[mpab]

I reinstalled MP 1.1.1 in a clean XP pro install of my current HTPC (detailed down here). As expected: it had almost no codecs so I installed the K-Lite codec pack. I've always done this: the last PC worked flawlessly and I only changed it because it was a Celeron with Intel integrated graphics and couldn't cope with 720p.

On the first test, every movie I played, regardless of the filetype or resolution was reproduced in a double side-by-side B&W image, with a green irregular band between both images. Back into XP, the bundled MediaPlayer Classic showed the same, though VLC didn't.

So I made a full uninstall of the Codec Pack. Of course, now MP wouldn't play anything. I downloaded ffdshow and MP kept on giving me the duplicate images regardless of the countless configuration changes I made. WMP, OTOH, displayed every video without any problem.

I've upgraded my system to W7 to give it a try, but I'm afraid the SiS video card is not 100% compatible with W7 (everything's working but MP and XBMC and I won't buy an AGP card for it).

Can anyone helm me solve the double image problem? It's just that: the video is played twice, side-by-side and B/W with a green stripe between the images. And only in MP (XBMC gives me the white screen of death).

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I have a crappy computer with Windows XP on it and I want to wipe it clean of all files and apps and everything. Then, I want to install my Windows XP again (I have the CD with me), and then eventually install Linux Ubuntu as a dual boot but I can worry about that later. If anyone can help I will be grateful.

What does this have to do with my question? Can the moderators move or remove this entry, please?

Thanks.
