All but a couple of my saved videos, when opened with WMP 11, the screen
shows as a solid green. Audio works fine. Microsoft's error pops up on every
other attempt at opening a file. I send Microsoft the error. I've tried
everything I can think of. How can I fix the green screen issue?

A system restart fixed it for me. I hope you are as lucky.

Done that plenty with no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of
times. I also get errors when trying to open videos on web sites like fox
news and cnn etc. I can't even open those kinds of videos. IE crashes when I
attempt opening videos on web sites. At least my saved files have audio only.
Oh well.

I've experienced this too. They play fine in VLC media player. It's like a
green mesh overlay.....

Yes, a green mesh overlay. I downloaded VLC Media Player. Tried opening a
.wmv file. That generated the same error report, which I sent to Microsoft.
VLC then crashed. No green screen this time. It didn't get that far. Thanks
though for the suggestion.

I had this problem too, just fixed it right now. Open the play, click the
arrow under "Now Playing" to get the options open, Click More Options...,
Then under the Performance Tab decrease the Video Acceleration slider. Apply
it and OK. Fixed it for me.

Thank you so much Hayt. It worked!
I moved the slider to the middle and now all videos are working. I'm glad it
was that easy. Great.

Thanks Again,
Steve

I kept getting a green screen.
I followed steps to decrease video acceleration.
It worked.

Thanks,
