I’ve installed WinXP on VirtualBox 4.1.8 (from Virtualization repo). The installed WinXP fails to all play video files. It shows white screen in video player (Media Player Classic from K-Lite codec pack and Windows Media Player) and plays sound. It seems the size of white screen in video players corresponds to the size of movie played. Video also fail to play in PowerPoint presentations.
Does anyone have the same problem? Please, help.
Host OS: OpenSuse 12.1 64 bit.
The VBox extension pack and guest additions for WinXP are installed.

can you play the same video files in the host openSUSE system?
and, will LibreOffice running in openSUSE play the PowerPoints?
I can play those videos in host OpenSUSE. But they fail to play in guest Windows either in VirtualBox or VMWare Player. It’s about all videos played in PowerPoint.
What kind of videos are they? You might need to install the codecs for them, these are not all provided by default.
LibreOffice fails to play videos in ppt.
LibreOffice gets mixed results playing PPT videos. What are you using to play them on your Windows guest? You can try installing the free viewer from MS.
