I'm not sure if this is hardware or software related but after installing my new G/Card when I playback video files with windows mplayer the picture looks blocky and I guess like a tv thats not tuned in correctly, any suggestions on settings to look at in mplayer?

is your ActiveX® up to date?

I dont get u, I searched for acticw x but nothing seems to relate to what Im doing.
always annoying
Do you have other players instaled?,
if so, does this only happen in MPlayer?,
and again, if so, have you tried re-instaling it?
but thats just a thought,

do you also have this problem with media players that are known to be good software (as opposed to windows media player)? ive never used nero showtime, but i doubt it could beat bsplayer, media player classic or vlc
try one of these out, if you still have the problem its not the software, if you dont, its just more proof of how crappy wmp is.......... (and even if this doesnt help, i suggest you do switch media players)

Cheers for the input but I seemed to have solved it by turning down my graphics acceleration in display properties,I don't know why it works but it does
