Jpeg's and mpeg's colors all mixed up

[paju]

IE 5.5, Win Mediaplayer and Netscape 6 are mixing colors, but ACDSee shows jpegs correctly. What could be wrong? I have win98se, Duron650 and A7V. I tried to reinstall Windows, but it didn't help.

I posted a reply yesterday, but I guess it got wiped.

Are you sure you're running in 16-bit color(that's 65,536 colors)?

It sounds like you could be running in 8-bit color(256 colors) which would mess up images and movies with more than 256 colors, ACDSee may still show jpegs correctly because it has built in dithering filters that will make images display correctly with just 256 colors.

I have 32bit colors.

Funny that IE5.5 and NS6 shows jpegs blurred, but NS 4.76 correct. PaintShopPro shows them correct too, but when I copy'n'paste a jpeg to MSWord colors are mixed.
How in the hell is this possible?

Your system must not have always had this problem (I hope!), can you recall when this started happening? Did this coincide with the installation of a certain application? Netscape 6 perhaps?

Could it be possible that Duron's cracked core is causing this?
