Psychadelic colors when playing WMV files

I just got a new Dell Latitude D810. It absolutely flies. However, I was getting very weird playback when playing certain WMV files (e.g. ECO is Child's Play or the PDC sessions). The playback was twinged with orange, and lime green, and other colors where I couldn't see the video. I felt like firing up some Jefferson Airplane to complete the effect. ;-)

To solve this, I ended up opening WMP9, going to Tools | Options | Performance and turned the Video acceleration setting down to None. Problem solved.

I've just got my new Dell Inspiron 6000 and I had the same problem with the deafult WMP configuration, It also seems to solve itself if you upgrade to WMP10.

So does that mean everything is now in slow motion? :)

That's because you are on drugs when buying a Dell. Just like the Packers, they aren't rugged, lack innovation and contain the poorest performing parts. Sony rules!

Hey, one *needs* to be on some kind of mind-altering substance to be a Packer fan these days!! :)

Thank you I have been looking for this solution for a long time, Googling Psychadelic colors playing WMV files were the key words I used that brought me to this message.

Thank you very much

Its not about it being Dell or other, I have a desktop AMD, and ATI graphics, the same happened, and solved with the same solution

Thanks a lot.
