Hi, I recently upgraded my Catalyst package to 12.6 beta (only the beta offers support for legacy cards, and I use Radeon HD3600, so had to go with beta). Some time after this upgrade, I tried using WMP to watch videos over the web and locally on my computer, and noticed the following: Videos start playing, but only audio comes through Instead of video, WMP displays a visualizaiton or a static thumbnail picture Trying to play WMW videos gives an alert about possibly missing a codec (you would think that WMW codecs are present by default) At the same time playing videos via e.g. QuickTime works normally. Uninstalling 12.6 beta would cure the problem without touching codecs. Re-installing would re-create the problem. Uninstalling, and then installing Catalyst 12.4 also works, and is what I'm using now. Has anybody else come across this or found a solution to make 12.6 beta work with videos in WMP? (Win7, 64 bit)

As a side note someone actually uses wmv and mediaplayer. Had to search sample videos that come with windows to find wmv file to test it works with non-legacy cards
