I was having Linux mint6 operating system installed on my Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop but as soon as a new version of Linux Mint 10 was released I upgraded my operating system. From last few days I am facing problem with my system such that whenever I try to play video in my windows media player my video is not being played. Although I tried to use a different player thinking that the problem will be resolved but it wasn’t. I need a solution so that I can troubleshoot this problem.

If you are having video problem in your Linux Mint operating system such that the video is not working then in that case you may need to check the video chip which is a small device located on your motherboard. Video chip is a special processor whose responsibility is to handle all the video display tasks for your laptop. If you laptop has problem while playing the video then in that case your video chip of the laptop is very weak. You can try replacing the video chip and the problem may be resolved.

You should also make sure that the video card is working properly. If the laptop works but no picture is displayed on the screen then in that the card is properly inserted also the computer mounts it in an adapter slot. If the video card is mounted to the motherboard then in that cases make sure no jumpers are loose or missing. You should also check the cable entering into the video card. Make sure that the cable is tightly connected. Also you can try disconnecting the cable and then reconnecting the cable again onto the video card.

After the un-installation of video driver has been completed then you may need to restart the system. When the system restarts then you can browse to the manufacturer website and download new drivers for your system. After downloading the driver you may need to install it.
