PR-0927 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Right, so whenever I have been watching videos on the Internet or downloaded videos on my computer, Windows Media Player screws them up! The videos are all bright! Also, shadows become reddish and stuff. Everything looks foggy too. But, the settings like saturation, brightness, etc., are all in the middle. WHAT'S GOING ON? And, how the hell do I fix it? It randomly happened one day, and it's been like that ever since.
El Sitherino Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Get a player that doesn't suck? vlcplayer, wmc, winamp, bsplayer, etc.
PR-0927 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 LOL, but what happens when someone send me a .wmv file? Plus, I like WMP...I just wanna fix it.

lukeskywalker1 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Uninstall + Reinstall... redownload it from http://www.microsoft.com if you have to.

TK-8252 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 You can't uninstall WMP. It's hard-coded into Windows, which is horribly impracticle. My WMP is also screwed up. When you try to run a video, after a few seconds of play, it slows way down like in slow motion, but the audio remains normal. So I use WMC.
PR-0927 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 Hmm, no luck. I know that I can't uninstall it. I just rolled it back... It still is really screwed up. All the colors are bright and fuzzy. What is this WMC of which you speak?
PR-0927 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 Wow, WTF, I fixed it, LOL... I just right clicked on the video, went to options, and made the "hardware acceleration" in the middle... Oh, well. Thanks anyways, you all.
lukeskywalker1 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Oh, now I remember, I didn't uninstall WMP, I just reinstalled right over it. I had a virus that took over media player (strange host, but whatever) and yeah, just installed over it, fixed the problem, killed the virus.
Crow_Nest Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Sometimes i get that kind of color screwed problem whenever i change video card drivers. NEver happend before in the past, dont know why its happening now.
