Windows Media Player

Ok When i try and play .wmv files all the colours screw up and are a mess the weird colours of pink and orange and green i dont know what it is, any ideas?

 

BUMP - someone must know

btw i re-installed it

 

takes some pictures so I can understand what you are trying to say.

 

I have fixed it, anyway when i try to take a ss it goes black where the video should be :huh:

 

i say...

download VLC Player http://videolan.org

btw... why cant i do

*Edit* you fixed it nwm.

First, try all the steps in this Microsoft document on the pink and green Windows Media Video issue with ATI cards (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=843509#18). Other than that use DivX or another player. Hard to know with not knowing what version od WMP your using. If it's 9 upgrade to 10.

That's easy to solve

Ever wonder why whenever you take a cap in windows media player it comes out black?

1. Go to tools -> options
2. Click on the performance tab then click advanced
3. Untick the "use overlays" checkbox and there!

Solved hope it helps other people
