I have a dual boot system with Windows XP and Vista Home Premium,

Commercial dvds will not play correctly with wmp11 on the XP system
(colours are incorrect) but does play properly on the XP system.
Audio files play fine with both systems. The hardware is the same
for both systems.
My feeling is that the codec on the XP system is not working
correctly. How can I check it and, if necessary, replace it?
As far as I know - Windows Media Player does not come with the necessary
codec/decoder to play DVDs.
What that means is that something on said systems has installed the decoder
to play MPEG2... And it may/may not be the same decoder on both machines.
Did either come with some application like PowerDVD or WinDVD?
