Awful colour when playing DivX DVD Xvid. Desktops fine

[Mickey123]

Hi,

I have recently plugged another monitor into my dual port 7900GT graphics card.
Im not sure this is the cause of the prob at all as have just reformatted my HD and never watched anything until I tried today.

Everything is fine, IE desktop etc etc Even the colour of media player is fine, its the picture it shows thats truely awful. All of the colours are way off and def set to default

I have tried Winamp too and its just as bad.

I know the DivX/Xvid Im attempting to watch is OK as Ive watched it many times before and have also tried many other files I know to be normally OK.

As said its not media player OR winamp as both of these are effected so changing the colour from default won't help.

Gamews play fine and Ive tried using a number of different Codecs too

Any ideas??

do you have the latest Version of Divx?

sounds like you codecs, id go looking for a codec pack like FFDshow, i also recomend VLC, or media player classic for players.

If the new codecs don't fix it update your graphics card drivers.
