i can't play videos on media player 11 that i've always been able to play.
everytine i try to play a video i get this message, "Windows Media Player
cannot
play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open
display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen
resolution and color quality settings." (error code is C00D116A ) it's very
frustrating to keep getting this message, to say the least, when no change
has been made to the display settings.

can anyone help?

What file types are affected? What video file types still work?

So no WMV or MPEG?
If that's the case then your video card driver-

seems broken.
