Can view still frames of video. When i start to play video. both picture freeze. You can hear the audio play in the background. When i stop the play head the video will show the refreshed picture of where the play head stopped. Why can't I get the video to play. thank you in advance for your help

Try clicking Shift-Z in the preview window.

Shift Z does not help. Any other suggestions.

I had a similar problem once when I was trying a new monitor connected to the Matrox MXO2 LE.
The setting in the FCP viewing was the HDV1080/60, and since in the timeline the video was working, I became crazy to try to understand why it was freezing the picture in the monitor...
after 10 minutes or maybe more and trying everything I could do, I realized that the project I was watching it was in PAL, I changed the setting in the FCP's viewing to HDV 1080/50 and the problem was gone.
I don't know if it could be the same for you but that was my experience.

good luck
