need help with playing video

[fusion5ny]

i thought i had some codec problems so i formatted my computer
i installed the drivers to my geforce 6800
i installed latest divx and xvid codecs
all my videos play, but all of them play with the colors all distorted and whitish, just like before the format
i also tried installing like every codec pack possible, like k-lite and the others from free-codecs.com
i need help badly cause i'm so heated cause of this
anyone know what the problem is

All movies that play in Windows Media Player for me have distorted color, Quicktime and others are fine though.
Hmmm, when I start up San Andreas the intro movie is distorted too, I guess I could benefit from some info on this too.

Rule #1 - don't install codec packs
Rule #2 - never break Rule #1


For 99.9999% of all videos out there, you just need divx3 and ffdshow
