Codecs are possible but since drivers were the last thing he changed and now he has a problem - that would be my first thing to check. Codecs... depends, but i doubt it would cover ALL media, since you'd have many codecs covering loads of things.

Drivers cloud... just go back one version, not back to the one you had originally. Depends how out of date your drivers were when you updated them!

Cloud,

1. Reinstall the newer drivers so you can play your game.
2. Stop watching porno avis.

In the event that 2 is not acceptable do the following

Start
Settings
Control Panel
Display
Settings
Advanced
Troubleshooting
Set Hardware Acceleration to None while you are watching the video and turn it back up to Full when you are done.

Hope that works, it sorts out a similar problem with videos on my work PC.
