This is the third setting (Video Path/s) under Multimeda/HTPC in the configuration application (You may need to click next page)

Could you tell me your operating system and PC hardware? Which version of Windows Media Player do you have?

Is the GameEx toolbar visible at the top of the screen, when you move the mouse? Do the videos play when GameEx is in windowed mode?

I dont think your graphics card is powerfull enough. Either that or its because your not running on win2000 or xp.

I cant offer much help right now.
