Need help with Win Media Player

Everytime I play like a music video or other video, I get really weird kinda graphics in media player. It's like a reddish orangy, green lines and it's kinda like the scrambled cable visual, but not really scrambled, more of weird colors and lines. It's kinda hard to explain, but I can't get a clear color out of it. I can watch the movie, but the color is all screwed. When I used Win2K I did not have this problem so I don't know what it is. It's not a refresh prob. either.

please help. thanks

this is what i was talking about in the thread i posted. you need to upgrade windows media player to 9.0, just codec wont do it. and you can only use windows media 9.0 to play the video, otherwise you will see weird colors. ive been getting this bs on video that isnt even copy protected. its starting to really annoy me...
