Hi, I'm having problems playing videos on VLC and running Chrome browser. The problem began the other day when I wanted to practice using Powershell, but my Windows 7 computer didn't have the latest version. I read online that I would have to install Windows Management Framework (WMF) 3.0 to get the latest version of Powershell. After installing WMF is when I ran into a bunch of problems. My screen flashed to a black screen for a second and then reappeared, and an message at the bottom corner of the screen says there was a graphics driver error but it recovered. Later I launched VLC player, but when it started playing a video file, the picture was either messed up or frozen. This was the case for multiple video files I knew that worked in the past. The second problem is with Google Chrome. I launched Chrome and it runs very slowly and when I type in the browser it takes several seconds for the characters to appear on the screen.
I uninstalled WMF 3.0 but I still get errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics driver, but that didn't help either. I tried to go back to an earlier time on my computer using System Restore, but it wouldn't restore to a previous point completely and I'm still stuck with the same problems. I also tried using "sfc /scannow", but that didn't help.
My guess is the problem is related to the graphics driver, but I don't know what to do next to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
