So, I can't watch "most" videos on my comp. such videos as cut scenes in warcraft 3 and any kill videos or pvp videos that are saved to my comp. what happens is the screen is just really really dark, I can sometimes make out the outlines of things but thats it. I updated quicktime and have wmp11, no idea what else to do.

does this with stage 6 movies too!

Update video card drivers maybe?

Also could be a DirectDraw problem, but I doubt it.

too many hours looking at porn.

Do you have the divx codecs installed?

Oh hi.

drivers are up to date.

where can I DL the divx codecs?

If you have an Nvidia card try this. I know it sounds odd but my boss just had the exact same issue last week. He contacted the vid card manufacturer and it turns out he had to go back and use the Feb 07 Nvidia drivers. That fixed the problem for him.

oh hey nvm found divx and there is a new version, installing now

If this doesnt do it ill try that MF, it is a nvidia

lol man thats pro, i can see the movies now but the contrast is really white and washed out. but i guess its kind of an improvment.

What did you change on your PC (installing/updating/adding software) right before this problem began? Also you're using XP?

yea i use xp, and i dont know what changed or when because i rarely watch movies and stuff on my comp.
