All video played since reformat is totally washed out

since my reformat, any video played on my computer has completely washed out colors. all other graphics including photos look fine and everything worked great before the reformat. have tried streaming and local clips on media player, realplayer and quicktime. have a nvidia 5200 with latest drivers and dx9c. monitor is calibrated and contrast is set correctly?

any ideas?

the only thing i can figure is that the most recent nvidia drivers dont correctly support my 5200 but i dont know why that would be the case.
 
Washed out colors huh?

I doubt it will answer your question but did you replace the video codecs you lost when you did the format? You might pay a visit to www.free-codecs.com to get the latest codecs. Then upgrade your media player to ver. 10 and let it upgrade everything.

Might help.

Good luck,

kaizersose, that's the new 77.72 drivers that are causing that. It did that for me upon installation, too (and I have a supported 6800GT, so it's not that). The fix, I found, is to access the Color Correction screen in your display properties, select "Overlay" in the drop-down box beneath "Apply color changes to:" and then change the color profile from "Standard mode" to "Advanced mode." There's a bug with gamma in standard mode.

That fixed it for me. If it doesn't for you or doesn't "stick" for you, try changing the profile for "All" instead of just "Overlay", otherwise you'll probably want to downgrade your drivers.
 
Thanx!

I had that happen to me as well, & wasn't sure why or how to fix it.

TY 😀
