Re: pink & overexposed DVD WMV image...

Ok. Here's the deal. I have the same video card and driver. I also
encountered the same issue. The solution is so simple, that you'll probably
be hitting yourself in the head over it.

1. Right click your desktop and select NVIDIA display, then you monitor
will be displayed off to the side. Select it and it will bring up your
NVIDIA properties.

2. Select the Color Correction tab. The section that says Apply color
changes to: will probably be selected to Desktop or Overlay. Change it to
"All".

Voila! Done

Note: I was almost tempted to rollback the driver, but thankfully this did
the trick. I hope after this, you'll be able to continue to enjoy your WMV
10 again :)
