Answer Where did you download the driver from?
If you got if from MSI - well lets just say their drivers are not up to par and cause problems.
Go directly to Nvidia's website and download the newest drivers for you card. (7000 series).
You'll get much better performance from the card with that driver too.
make sure you install the driver by doing the following:
Go to device manager- expand display adapters - right click you card and choose remove, uninstall.
Go to add remove programs and uninstall all Nvidia software
Reboot. Cancel the hardware wizard.
Install the driver you downloaded.
The reason for this is when a driver is installed and you update by installing a new driver - it only updates some files. this way you put in all new files.
You may also want to install a codec pack - its free http://www.free-codecs.com/K_lite_codec_pack_download.htm
Download and install cleanup http://www.stevengould.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=2...
run that and say no to demo mode - then defragment your hard drive
Reboot and try the video again.
