For some unknown reason, video playback has vanished on
on my Windows Media Player v.9. Doent matter whether I
load an AVI, WMV or MP3 but all I see is a very faint
purple-ish looking box (of the correct video size). The
audio content of the file plays OK.

I have run my DXDIAG and that reports all is OK. I can
also load the files in RealPlayer without problems.

Any obvious ideas?

Is your monitor set as the Primary or default display?

I think it is Primary (how do I tell).

I am running an Nvidia GeForce display card

The Display Properties in the Control Panel will help you set that.
