Page 1 of Video playback problem.

I hope someone has a clue as to what`s up here. I`m having a problem with video playback, whenever I play any type of video it seems to have a white cast over it, like its to bright, but adjusting brightness settings doesn`t do anything.

I had to reformat and got everything installed that`s when it started doing it, I didn`t worry about it to much as I has to reformat yet again (I`m seemingly having never ending PC troubles lately), but its doing it again now after the second reformat.

I`ve tried different files with different players (Windows Media Player, Winamp and DivX) and am getting the same thing.

I`ve tried adjusting display settings to no avail. Everything was fine before the reformat. and my display is fine besides this.

Anyone got any suggestions

Thanks in advance, its greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I have the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB. I uninstalled the display drivers and video playback is fine now, the rest of my display doesn`t look to good though. But I checked the colour settings when the drivers were installed and everything was fine.

Does anyone know if the current nvidia drivers on the website are a new release? and if so where can I get the old ones? everything was fine before the reformat, and I downloaded the drivers from the site.

Open nvidia settings from the icon in your system tray - select colour correction - you`ll find a box under the heading "apply color changes to" - select "all" - select "apply" - you`ll find this will fix your problem - had the same myself and found nvidia was only selected for desktop - good luck

tbh, it sounds like a codec problem, when was the last time they where updated ? also are you having the problem with a types of video/media files or just mp4 xvid etc ?
