Messed up player

[donknotts]

My video card is the Ati Radeon 9550 series, and media was working great. Then, all of the sudden my media is messed up and in thermal heated vision. It plays normal speed, but it acts like it has an effect on or something.

I have all the latest drivers for my card
I have re-installed all of my movies
I have re-formated my computer and video software

can anyone help?

i had the same issue - this worked for me.

In WMP click on Tools/Options/Performance/Advanced and
then in the Video Acceleration section uncheck Use Video
Mixing Renderer and all three Legacy Video Renderers.
Then click OK and click Apply in the Options window.
