i recently installed warcraft 3 and everytime i try to watch a cinematic all i get is a black screen i can hear the sound its just no picture comes up, can anyone think of a reason for this?

Poor graphics card?Check to see if you graphic are capable of running the game. Then check you have the right codecs and drivers.

i used to be able to run it perfectly but i reformatted a little while ago and i have reinstalled all my previous drivers and such but whenever i close warcraft i see my maktrosa codec is in my task bar so maybe somehow that is contributing it what I'm thinking but i cant delete that i need it to watch anime

ah buggah problem was codec, i guess i just gotta clock warcraft then watch anime
