723695 2008-11-27 20:35:00 Thanks again lads.
Ran all of those and updated,went to WMP,no changes at all.
Tried altering settings,but nothing would change.

Did that Wainuilad,nothing changed.

I note colours in WM are OK when playing music,that is the colours that change on screen when playing music.

723698 2008-11-27 22:23:00 Hmmmm - Since its playing up in VLC as well, it does sound like a Codec problem.

You can try removing the old ones (try add remove programs) then installing new ones, you can get them from here (www.free-codecs.com) - standard should be enough or FFDShow on its own from Here (www.free-codecs.com) - FFDShow is included in the other download as well.

Edited: does it "wash out" only on a certain video Format Eg: AVI - as a test, try another format , see if windows Media Video will play as this is built into the player.

back to work----

723699 2008-11-28 01:00:00 Not much luck it seems.
Have run that as best as I can,without any effect on colour.

723700 2008-11-28 01:31:00 Right oh - Don't know if you have nVidia Video Drivers or not, but I found this as well for possible " Washed Out Video"


GO to nVidia Display settings

Colour Correction

Apply colour changes to

Select 'All' in dropdown

Apply...

If do, under Display/ Video & television, you can reset the defaults (on mine its top right of the window)

Looking in device manager,all I can find is NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator.
Have run nvidia disk , it says all is well?

I think I might have got that wrong.!

All can see in my control panel is Nvidia nview desktop.

Can't for the life of me find nVidia control panel.
