"Green" screen washout within media player since upgrade to sp2

[erniemink]

REDUCING VIDEO ACCELERATION TURNS OFF NECESSARY FEATURES THAT THE VIDEOS REQUIRE SUCH AS DIRECT SHOW. AND IT MAKE THE VIDEOS CHOPPY. I FOUND WHEN I USED I TUNES TO PLAY VIDEOS AND SET THE DEFAULT TO GO TO FULL SCREEN AUTOMATICALLY, THERE WAS NO GREEN SCREEN EFFECT. BUT WHEN I ESCAPED OUT AND WENT BACK TO FULL SCREEN MANUALLY, IT WENT TO THE GREEN SCREEN WASHOUT EVERYTIME. STRANGE PROBLEM.

there is no problem with the codecs.... it's just video acceleration after the new live update of the media player is too high.... so reduce the acceleration

Ok again I tell you how to do it....

open Windows Media Player..... click tools..... then "options" under tools....click performance....you will see video acceleration somewhere down..... reduce the settings from full.... it should work now.....

check you might have to lower it a lot....one of my old cards needs it to be lowered a lot.

I am sure this will work

I hav posted this same stuff in another forum...just copied and pasted here

Anyway all the best

Back to the Basics, guys. Check BIOS. Make sure AGP apature size is large and advanced writing is enabled.

Hi Guys,
If anyone still has this problem, I also tried all the above mentioned fixes with no luck. Then as a second to last option (last being to through it out the window) I checked for updated nVidia drivers again. Latest update 93.71 did the trick (filename 93.71_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe size 40.5MB) here's the link http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html (there's also a 64-bit version available).

Hope this helps.

it seems updating the nVidia drivers worked until I restarted the machine, now I'm back to the green screen washout in media player.

I tried as suggsted in the previous post, but no luck still does it.
Also I'm running WMP 11 so the microsoft KB doesn't apply.

Tried changing bios settings, media player settings, drivers, stopping other apps/services, registry settings... nothing worked.

Maybe MSI (MSI FX5200 128MB AGP) just make sh!t cards. I am tempted to send it back as its about a month old, but just know my supplier is going to say it's a software prob.

Also running a gigabyte nVidia Geforce 7600GS in my other machine, and never had a problem.

My final test will be to load fresh copy of vista (instead of XP) if it still does it then back it goes and I'll stop selling MSI cards.

Hi people,

I had de same problem, the green screen on all the videoplayers on my system. Because I am using 2 monitors, a Samsung SyncMaster and a Dell I could place the videoplayer-screen from the Samsung to the Dell an vicaversa. Because the Dell is running on 60 HZ refresh mode, and on the Samsung 75 Hz, the green screen was disappeared on the Dell monitor.

Then I switched the Samsung to 60 Hz, the problem is solved.

Regards,
Mike
