hi guys and GIRLS this is my FIRST post here and i thank you all in advance for reading and possibly replying so here is my problem
i have a acer 9300 aspire running vista with 2MB ram the video card is a geforce go 6100 i few weeks ago i WENT to watch a downloaded video and when it started to play it crashed to the bluescreen and then restarted it checked online and said the problem is with the nvidia , so i thought that maybe i had downloaded a virus or something so i did a full system restore however the problem remains . The laptop works in every other way it just wont play a video either through wmp or any other media PLAYER i have tried many . i have spend hours downloading driver updates and nothing works . i have restored it and its like a new comp but i still cant watch any type of movie plzzz help
A video driver update may or may not be the source of the issue...
With laptops the recommended drivers for video should be from the laptop manuf. site...
Did you install an nVidia update by chance ? ?
If so travel back to the laptop site and install their video drivers and see if this corrects things...or revert to the ones on the driver CD that shipped with the laptop.thanks for the reply , i have updated the drivers with every one from the nvidia website and also the ones from acer i have also used the system reinstall which is on my hidden harddrive to put the laptop back to factory settings . i understand a bit about comps and do believe it to be hardware but is it possible that everthing works like games and stuff it just wont play video .... im sooo confused Do you get blue screen crashes no matter what video / media player you try to use?Quote

d the drivers with every one from the nvidia website and also the ones from acer i
