Well this was bothering me 3-4 days but i figured it out :)

No need to update windows media player or re-installing your XviD DivX FFDShow codecs. The solution is simplier.

Open windows media player and go Tools > Options > Performance > Advanced. Disable "Use Video Mixing Renderer" and ... voila :)

thank me l8r.

ps : i think disabling this you cant double click and go into fullscreen , you have to do it manually (right click > fullscreen) , but that's not a problem ..... axm ?

well it seems that enabling again the same option makes no harm. So strange. Worked for me. Try it yourself.

didn't work

only way i can fix it is to adjust the "Hue" in the video settings by sliding the bar to the right . but it resets itself to the center ever time you play a new file. so i guess i am stuck with the problem

i had this problem also this will fix it

, i have had this before with a xp disc i made when i tried to put all the updates and drivers for my mobo and cards, open mediaplayer goto tools -> options -> performance -> advanced, video acceleration - you will have to untick use overlays and tick high quality mode. i know an update from ms can cause this

stuhawk;i had the same issue however i got it sorted a different way i went into the start up uttility and stopped the vista codec pack 64 from starting up at the begging using speed up my pc almost like running the command msconfig wich will give you access to the start up programmes also however when i went into the msconfig,the start up programme wasnt there you may need to find a programme that will do the job
all the best stuhawk
