    hello (again jeesh!)

    if you're a greedy pig and feel the need to play a game AND watch a divx movie at the same time (from same pc) then you'll notice that the divx movie comes pink and the only way to stop it is to quit the game

    does any1 kno why its doin it coz its annoying
    thanks for help

    yeah had the same thing happen to me. Messed around with a lot of stuff, but it turns out i just needed to re-install the graphics driver. But yeah that should work, if it doesn't just get back and we'll go from there

    hi thanks for reply
    ive reinstalled the driver and its not made any difference, do you think a safe-mode uninstall of the driver will be better

    if so what is the best way to uninstall and re-install. maybe im doing it wrong
    thanks for help

    yeah, graphics drivers are tricky. Well first off, do you have the latest driver from Nvidia's website, and yeah i think it took like a couple tries to get it installed properly. A safe mode uninstall might not be a bad idea, because it is possible that there are multiple driver installed. And even though it is a small possibility, it could be that you don't have the right video codex's installed. So maybe try re-installing windows media player Divx player, as they may have been installed improperly.

    ive done what you said i found a November 11th driver on nvidia webby and installed that. well the pinkness has dissapeared but instead of it flashing pink (which is wot it did) the movie's brightness changes to very high levels and in some parts of hl2 (where ever im looking) it flashes from normal brightness to high brightness, but as i say, it only flashes when i look at particular places in HL2 - still unwatchable as it the brightness levels are too high

    i can't afford to buy it, but i got Friends (all 10 series's on DVD last christmas

    well if you say your sad, i must be sad-er, cos i love TNG too

    Question: what's data's brother called ?

    BTW: which edisode are you watching in the pic ?

    anyways, i think you need to update your codecs, i don't think reinstalling grfx drivers will do any good, try uninstalling Divx and reinstalling Divx
