Cat 4.10 and WMP problem

[edm]

I upgraded from 4.9 yesterday, and today I noticed that many of my wmv files were messed up during playback. I didn't take any screen shots, but they basically looked like film negatives, with heavy bleeding. Anyway, I went back to the 4.9's and that fixed the problem. I'm using wmp 9 btw, ati 9700. anyone have this problem?

I`m using 4.10s(with new CCC) and 9700, working great for me,try Driver Cleaner ,follow the readme file instructions.

Both are right It works for me.

The same thing was happening to me and my roomate. We updated to the media player 10 through windows update and that fixed the problem for us.

I've seen a few posts on this issue now, its starting to look like maybe an issue between WMP9 and WMV acceleration with the Cat 4.10 drivers. Strangely when I was testing the WMV acceleration, it didn't seem to make any difference whether it is enabled/disabled either. ( I could only find the checkbox in the legacy CP btw)

Ok, thanks for the help all. I did use driver cleaner when updating. I'll look into upgrading to WMP 10.

Upgrading to WMP 10 worked for me. Otherwise, in WMP 9 in tools try turning windows acceleration to none.

I checked a few settings and it turns out that you don't have to disable all video acceleration to get the Cat 4.10's to play nice with WMP 9. Open up WMP 9, go to the Performance tab, click Advanced under Video Acceleration. Next, turn off "Use video mixing renderer" AND "Use overlays" under the Video Accelleration section.

Video should playback normally now.

You, sir, deserve a medal.

Thanks for that info. I've been looking for about 2 hours for an answer. And I have an exam tomorrow.

I wouldn't want to turn off acceleration. Either upgrade to WM10 or go back to 4.9's. I went back to 4.9's since 4.10's also messed up some games.
