Hi, since i installed the newest video driver from nvidia, the one that came out on may 17. when i play some movies on my computer there is like a yellow ghost on everything. its like that on multiple videos but not all. the ghost thing happens on windows media player, but when i try to play the video on something else, like powerdvd for example. there is like a yellow and blue bar just going down the screen horizontally. it doesn't move or do anything, its just there.

does anyone know how to fix this problem?
 
What kinda movies are you trying to play? DVD or divx/xvid, sounds like a codec issue to me.

Try to install VLC player and see what happens, if still yeallow/bland screen, then I would try to install drivers again.
 
hey, sry about the date thing. i found out it was Version: 158.22 for the video driver. i downloaded Vlc player like you suggested and that didnt help. i have a pic of what they look like so maby this could help more.

Have you reinstalled your drivers? Download the newest, uninstall your current, then run a driver cleaner program, then reinstall.
 
not on all the drivers, but ill do that now. can you suggest a good driver cleaner program please?
 
Make shure you Monitor display driver is installed and you set the refresh rate to the highest HZ for your resolution.

Video cards rely on the monitor refresh rate and perform better Picture and Quality wise when the display driver is installed for your given monitor .This driver sets the Color and Quality of your monitor and can or may cause simalar problems picture wise when viewing DVD's or mpeg and AVI files thru Media player if the display driver for your monitor is not installed .Every lil bit helps.:D Also try the setting in the Nvidia Control Panel ( OVERIDE ANY APPLICATION) and see if it give better video performance;) Also the 158.22 is stable for some but not others.The 158.18 i have read can be lil more stable or better . sometimes the newer drivers are the worst drivers.

Also are you running XP or Vista?

Sorry, Voltage, but none of this will help with his problem. Promise.
 
How do you know none of what voltage suggested won't help unless you already tried it? :rolleyes:

Because I am /certain/ that refresh rate and monitor drivers (9/10ths of the monitors on the market right now need no drivers, as they're native plug-and-play) have nothing to do with the current issue.
 
Look, When you've tried normal things you have to start looking at other things. It could be codec issues, could be driver issue, maybe your gamma settings need tweaked, could be either video card or monitor driver whether you think so or not. Case in point, my monitor wasn't displaying proper colors until I tweaked it with the driver that came with it. Yes Windows had a built in driver, but that doesn't mean its the best one for it. Microsofts drivers aren't exactly known for quality or reliability .....
While it's likely that refresh rate is not the problem, it very well could be a monitor driver issue.

How do I know this? I've been fixing PC's for 13 years.
 
Perhaps there were wiser choices for source of video material on a publicly posted screenshot than an illegal cam of Shooter.
