Re: pink & overexposed DVD WMV image...

I have the same problem too. I tried to uninstall my video card driver and
directx and reinstall them again (latest versions), but it didn't help as I
heard it would do. I even reinstalled windows, but nothing seams to help.

When I play games everything is ok, graphic wise, but when I am using a
media player like Quicktime, Realplayer or Windows Media player all images
becomes washed out. It's really frustrating.

Here is my hardware and drivers (software) I use...

Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT, 256 MB
Nvidia driver version: 6.14.0010.7772 (english)

DirectX-version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
