When i try to play some formats of video, the colors are messed up, the videoshows up pink and yellow and all wrong. The problem may have started when i upgraded to the new version of media player but im not exactly sure. Any ideas? thanks a lot

If you have revently upgraded to the current NVidia drivers, that could be the problem. You need to disable "Overlays".

In Media Player go to Tools<Options. On the Performance Tab selec the "Advanced" button. Deselect the option "Use Overlays". Click OK twice. See if that helps.
