Colour messed up on MPG and AVI in WMP

Anytime I open a streaming web video the colour looks all messed up. It's the same in WMP for mpg or avi. The other thing is that Media player classic plays everything fine. I have Kazaa codec pack installed. tried uninstalling it but no joy on fixing the problem, Any idea's
Thanks

What type of streaming video? You're not trying to use Quicktimealternative or Realalternative for streaming are you?... They don't cope with streams very well

The the site is pokerzone.tv. I'm using Quicktimealternative and Realalternative. The thing is that mpg or avi look the same in WMP.

I seem to remember someone else had a similar problem recently, and it turned out to be the video card display drivers.

Try setting "hardware acceleration" to "none", and if the problem doesn't occur then you know you will need to roll back or update your video card drivers.

Your probably right. I only got a new 6800GT a month ago
Cheers

*EDIT* Yeah that worked woo hoo been driving me nuts for about a week.
