It looks like this: Now, I still get the audio, and in fact I can even pause and move the tracker around to change the time (though I can't see any of this), but I can't see anything. It's a bit annoying, needless to say. May it be a thing to do with 64bit vista? Anyone know what I can do? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Try and reinstall your video driver or update to a newer version if one is available. EDIT: Also using certain themes or skins from 3rd party vendors can cause wierd problems like this.

You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

I tried to use windows update, and it gives me a windows cannot find '___' error. If you want the full error I can do that. While I would like to get this fixed too, is there another way I can update my drivers? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

While I would like to get this fixed too, is there another way I can update my drivers? Yeah sometimes Windows Updates can be a Windows nightmare. I would Google the error just out of curiosity. Maybe just go to the manufactures sight for your video card and download the latest 64bit driver. If that doesn't work then maybe just try restoring a restore point before the Windows Update. Then turn Updates off. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Also the WIndows Media Classic is a great player too to .mov, .mp3, etc You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just in case You make a right click over any media file and then: Properties- Change (where you have the selected program to play the file). And then you select VLC media player.
