This problem has just started happening and it only applies when I play videos on my computer. (Happens in ALL video players. Not just one)

Whenever I play a video the colors are all washed out and bright and it is in a blue tint. My desktop and everything else (webbrower, flash, etc) all look perfectly FINE.

Any ideas as to what WOULD be causing this to happen?

Thanks!


PS: Windows XP sp2.Is it onboard video or do you have a video CARD installed? If it's a video card do you have another that you know is 100% to swap it with and see if maybe your video card is DYING and it can't take the extra strain of playing videos?Maybe, you just need to update/reinstall your video drivers...i AGREE with kbm292 about the video card dying. How old is the computer and are you using onboard card or an added card?Audios:
I have exactly the same problem that I am trying to troubleshoot on a Win98 machine. The machine is older, but the video card was upgraded a year ago to run the Sims2. When ever I view a video in windows media player or another application (the video program that came with my camcorder), the colors are washed out and skewed to blue. Videos are in various formats (I have two camcorder that use different codecs, plus other videos, including iTunes videos) Everything else looks fine. Have you found a solution?
