media player all whacked out!

[Biggs]

hey guys,
i tried to watch that mine bf2 video and my windows media player was all messed up. so i thried to watch something else and it was still my media player.

heres the problem: when it plays the colors are all inverted. insted of being regular colors it is like a rainbow, eveything is either yellow, green, blue, or red.

wtf?

how do i get it to view right? any help would be appriciated. thanks

Are you sure the correct codex is being used to play the movie? Maybe the Media player is trying to use a version thats not quite right or outdated. This might cause the problems you are having... just a guess though.

I have been having the same problem on my home PC, still havent figured it out.

so....how can i fix it?

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Is it on EVERY video or just this one? What types of files are you playing? (divx, mpeg, mpg)

I've had trouble since I reformated and downloaded the new version of WMP. I was going to try and download a Codac pack and see if that fixed my problems... Girls aren't as attractive when you cant see their..a... face!

its with every video, i tried to watch that bf2 "mine" video and just got it playing with sound and those crazy colors.

Well I havent fixed mine, and it only seams to happen with streaming video, and some stuff that I D/L to watch. But mines been screwed up since I reformated my machine

i just downloaded the new media player 10 from microsoft.com and it works fine. i had media 9 that came with xp.

Glad you got it fixed. Sorry I didnt see this sooner. I would suggest loading the ace mega codec pack. This has every codec you'll ever need. Every time I format a pc, i immedately throw this on. Lets you watch anything. Highly suggested.
