RESOLVED - Color issues when playing videos

[CommanderCrazy]

Ok, here's the deal. Every time I play a video (Not on youtube or affiliated, only saved ones), the colors are all messed up.

GPU is an ATi X1950GT. Can anyone help??

 

 

PS. I am unable to get a screencap as it always turns up black & before you say it, all drivers are up to date

Well, if your GPU is in working order then it's probably the codecs. Did you install any kind of codec packs? If you've installed multiple ones, then they may have conflicting settings or something. Try uninstalling any you have and using this one: Combined Community Codec Pack

 

Not sure what it could be if that doesn't help.

 

Also, CCCP (the link above) comes with Media Player Classic... you can use it to easily take screenshots of videos. Go File -> Save Image after loading a video. Alternatively, you can try loading the video into Windows Movie Maker and click the small button under the preview field to take a screencap.

Did you make sure your color settings are correct in your Control Center? Open it up and go to Avivo Video and see if all your settings are to your liking

Yup, it's probably what Illiad said. The same thing happened to me after installing some new drivers. Just mess with the settings a bit and it should be fine. :)
