747588 2009-02-13 09:58:00 Ok heres the story, got a new pc so wanted to transfer all my movies from the laptop (vista) to my desktop(xp sp2) some one the files i transferred (in wmv format) is displaying discoloration i tried my other players still the same and i tried getting the file again and it didnt work. It keeps showing a yellowy tinge and picture is visible but color looks funny, any suggestions? chuanwai (12518)

When you mentioned
i tried getting the file again and it didnt work. It keeps showing a yellowy tinge and picture is visible but color looks funny, any suggestions? Where were they obtained from - they could be corrupted ?

747590 2009-02-13 10:08:00 yea they play perfectly on vista ... weird huh? chuanwai (12518)
747591 2009-02-13 10:11:00 Try copying them over again.
And check if the file sizes are the same.

As WT said, they could have been corrupted while being copied.

747592 2009-02-13 10:14:00 I dont think they r corrupted, tried copying em like 6 times with different storage devices and same issue. Could it be my computer display settings? chuanwai (12518)
747593 2009-02-13 10:19:00 Try changing the video acceleration WMP > Tools > Options > Performance, and reduce video acceleration a notch at a time

Try reinstalling the graphics drivers as well

747596 2009-02-13 21:21:00 Are you sure it's not the screen of the XP PC?? jwil1 (65)
747597 2009-02-13 21:30:00 Could possibly be if you are using Different version of players - make sure the XP PC has the same Version of player - or you can always try downloading Windows media Player Classic - Home Cinema (http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/) - it plays just about every thing, and by right clicking the movie brings up options to change color, aspect ratios and a lot of other options. wainuitech (129)
