Suddenly all videos (off net or already saved) are shown in Windows or
Realplayer in an 'xray' or sepia-type of color scheme. Quicktime works fine
though, and everything else is fine - just wierd video color scheme. Any
suggestions? Thanks..

downloaded a codec pack from here -

It hasn't changed it, if anyone could help me also I would be grateful.

Ok. Here's the deal. I have the same video card and driver. I also
encountered the same issue. The solution is so simple, that you'll probably
be hitting yourself in the head over it.

1. Right click your desktop and select NVIDIA display, then you monitor
will be displayed off to the side. Select it and it will bring up your
NVIDIA properties.

2. Select the Color Correction tab. The section that says Apply color
changes to: will probably be selected to Desktop or Overlay. Change it to
"All".

Voila! Done

Note: I was almost tempted to rollback the driver, but thankfully this did
the trick. I hope after this, you'll be able to continue to enjoy your WMV
10 again :)

Just wanted to say thanks ever so much for taking the time to write a
response and help out, all is working fine and I can use the latest Nvidia
Drivers which is also handy for my online gaming.

Thanks Again. :-)
