    It's so weird!

    When I use integrated graphic card, it can't play the video(Flv or RM). The media player automatically exit when open the video file. But the games runs well w/o any problem. I have to switch to HD3650 to play the video. But previously, I could play the video at my T61 with the same media player.

    What happened? Any guys in the same trouble?

    T500, Core 2 P8700, 4GB RAM, HD3650/Intel 4 series chipset, windows 7 64bit,

    did u uninstall the codec pack of the media player? Just use the combo of K lite codec pack and windows media player classic homecinema and u should have zero problems.

    Guys,Thanks for your care!
    The media player name is mplayer,
    MPlayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    I like the software. It's open source and easy to use. it comes with all codes. I've used it for several yrs. And it works perfect.

    I can use it on Thinkpad t61 with integrated graphic card(windows 7, the same OS). Recently, I buy a Thinkpad T500 and find the above trouble.

    have you tried vlc? I'm pretty sure I can play video with my t500, also on 64bit windows. Also, you may get more help in the lenovo subforum.

    Thanks guy, Vlc works! It look I should change mplayer though I like it.

    But I'm still confused by the trouble. The software works on discrete grahpic card but not work on integrated grahic card. And it does work in another Thinkpad T61 with integrated grahic card.

    It's so weird!
