Asus N80Vb + Geforce 9300M GS + 10.6.7 issue

[wrenchhead]

I recently acquired an Asus N80Vb with onboard Geforce 9300M GS, and of course the first thing I did was give it the Hackintosh treatment. I used IATKOS S3 v2 (Chameleon v2 RC4, Craphics Enabler, -pci1, Ethernet, all the USB sub options, EVO Reboot, SleepEnabler, Intel SATA/IDE, Voodoo HDA, Apple HDA, Voodoo Power, Battery, Card Reader, TSC Sync, NTFS, Natit & Voodoo PS/2). Everything "worked" on first boot. I then ran the 10.6.7 Combo Update, and after a couple retries, installed legacy_kernel_10.7.0 (left over from install on another computer, thought I'd give it a shot) and managed to avoid the kernel panics this time around. I also added

0x06e910de&0xfff0ffff

0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff

0x06e010de&0x0000ffff

(realizing now that the only one I needed was the last line) to the Info.plist in my NVDANV50Hal.kext, but the issue I'm having is that any video I try to play results in a null or black window where the video should be. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or just missing something. I'm not an expert at this, but given the right information I'm capable enough to implement the changes needed. After a little bit of research, I'd hazard a guess that it has something to do with QE/CI, but I don't know what else to do to fix this. Can anyone offer me an answer to this problem?

 

Thanks

Okay, after some testing, there are other forces at work. I can open .mp4 video files with no issue with Quicktime, but anything I open with VLC just gets me a black window (but I hear the audio fine). A test of a YouTube video (in Google Chrome) gets me almost the same results as VLC: I get a blank box where the video should be (it shows me whatever is open behind Chrome in this box), and if I let it sit for long enough, the video is heard to be playing, but not seen. Another SWF video (located at http://www.christies.com/singing-bird-pist...en-1422-3.aspx) plays just fine in Chrome. Both YouTube and this other page crash Safari. Tested on Firefox, YouTube crashes Flash plugin but the Christies video runs fine, as on Chrome. Deleted all references to VLC and redownloading to try again, but since browsers can't handle video well either, I doubt this is the problem. Not sure what else to try. Doesn't help that I'm in Iraq right now and the internet is crappy, so it takes forever to try to download something that might help.

On a possibly related note, World of Warcraft crashes every time I try to load it, with the following on the crash report (there's more if it would help):
