video problem....

Hello,

I have a video performance problem with my window xp guest, my host is mac snow leopard.
I was having issues viewing video, wmv. mov. mp4. you name it.... And especially when trying
to use a software called EasyWorship for video projection. The software would crash as soon as
I started to use any form of video. So to try to solve that problem I changed my settings in my host.
Which made it WAY worse, right now if I want to switch to full screen the whole screen will go black,
and the only thing I can do to fix it is to power off the machine.

Under display I changed the setting, I changed the video memory to 67mb, and checked "Enable 2D video
Acceleration". But these are the settings that screwed up everything... So what should I do so that
I can correctly use video without any problems???

EDIT: I have guest additions installed.


Let me know if there is more information.
and thank you! :)

Have you installed guest additions with 3d in safe mode? Like described in the manual?
