The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

No video playback - audio fine.  Please help troubleshoot.

Asked by Rberthugeman in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: video, playback

Wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot a weird problem that just happened.  Fired up my computer yesterday, everything normal, tried to play an mpeg file I've played 20 times before, got great audio but no video!?!?  Just a black screen.  Have tried using every media player I have - WMP 10, Nero, Creative, Quicktime - all the same.  It's the same story with other video file formats as well - avi, asf, wmv - all of them.  The strange thing is everything else works fine and I haven't made any changes to the system other than routine maintenance.  Any ideas how to troubleshoot?  Possibly relevant specs (home built) - Win XP Pro (no SP2), Powercolor 9800 XT very moderately oc'd (tried cutting back oc already - no help), latest Catalyst 4.10 drivers, P4 3.0 Prescott oc'd to 3.64 (very stable, have run Prime 95 for 36 hrs with no errors), NEC Multisync FP2141 22" CRT 1600x1200 @85Mhz.  I'm at a loss as to how to attack this because everything else is working fine and it just happened out of the blue.  Went back a couple of System Restore points and that didn't help either.  WTF???  Thanks in advance.
