    My Windows Media player will play audio of all videos and music I have but only plays a few seconds of the video before the screen goes blank. As I said, the audio will still play.

    Any solutions?

    I agree with error. Have you tried installing any codecs (divx, xvid, etc.) lately that may have caused it to flake out? Or possibly another player...like Quicktime or Real? One thing is for sure WMP doesn't play pretty with everyone else!
