I recently got a eVGA 7600 GT video card.
Everything is working fine except that after playing a game (day of defeat), all my movies/videos I watch with VLCPlayer are Pink/Purple. Ive seen a few other cases of this when people play movies after gaming with a steam game, but was never resolved/fixed.
What is causing this? At first I thought it was overheating and causing problems, but its not. Its the game. Its only when I play my game does it happen.
How do I fix this?

Try dxdiag after you get out of the game.

Ok i did, but there are no errors in there that I can see. DirectX tab says no errors. and I did Direct3D and DirectDraw and it had no errors.

Change your resolution under display properties to something lower than you have now and then back again and try it after that.

Try downloading the lastest drivers from NVIDIA's website.

I do have the latest drivers. Its the latest Beta. Im using the beta because i tried the latest official release and it still didnt work. The beta doesnt help either. it has to be a conflict between steam apps and VLCPlayer running in a Nvidiacard, never had this problem with my previous card (ATI, but i hate ATI, <3 nvidia)

Right when day of defeat of counter strike finishes loading and i have a movie loaded. The picture turns pink/purple, about I exit steam and wait 5-15 minutes i restart the movie and its fine.

have you tried a degause (or what ever that is) on your monitor.

when I glued on a 80mm fan to my video hs after the stock fan lost a blade or two, I got a purple haze near the bottom of my crt, just degaused it and its fine.

If i removed the fan it went away so it had to be the magnetic field near the video card because nothing magnetic was ever near the crt. Kinda weird I thought

Sorry for answering so late - I just wanted to say that I'm having the same problem.

samir_nayanajaad: It has nothing to do whatsoever with the screen being damaged. It simply is a bug somewhere, and it only appears after playing a Steam game, it seems (in my case, Counter-Strike: Source).

It did actually work to set the resolution to something else, and change back. However I think the pink screen will return the next time I play CS.

I have got a Dell Inspiron 9400 with a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS card.

That may well be ;) I just felt like replying here since I've googled "video turns pink" etc. and have come up with no results. I rarely play any other game that demands as much of the graphic card as Steam Source games. :)

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. Did anybody find a fix to this ? If I reboot, it is ok but it's annoying to reboot.

Tex.
