Hey...

At some point I must have installed some sort of plugin or DX filter that messes up the color of all videos I play in Windows Media Player.

I'm not sure what did it, though. I just went and uninstalled everything that I could find in the start menu and add-remove programs but no luck fixing it.

Is there a list of installed filters in windows somewhere I can look at to try to determine which one might be messing things up for me?

Any other suggestions welcome!

Thanks.
 
First thing I'd check are the video overlay gamma setting in display properties. Although it's rare, I've had those settings go crazy on my 6800 which caused the gamma for the video overlay to go extremely high causing major color issues on WMP.
 
turn off like wmv acceleration
i had that problem, had to turn off 1 acceleration thing
fogot what it was tho
 
Thanks for both of your suggestions. Good things to look at that I had not thought of.

Turns out it was a hardware option in WMP that was set incorrectly. I switched it to "high quakity mode" from "overlay mode" and now it looks the way it should!
