black & white with streaming video

Vulture · 2006-08-08, 22:26

can anyone tell me what's wrong when I get only black and white video with streams from the internet (trailers and uitzending gemist)?
all my divx movies are OK in color, but the internet streams are black and white.

anyone?

so, no replies whatsoever.

I found the problem myself, so I reply to this just in case someone else has this problem.

the problem was with the driver.
It's a nVidia FX5200 PCI card (in an older pc).
everything worked fine, except overlay video.
I was able to change some settings on the overlay, but was only able to get some purple-ish color on the overlay.
I used the newest driver from nVidia.

But when I changed to the older drivers (that came with the card) everything was working OK.

So newer isn't always better...

Correct, and no silly messages saying SLI disabled, when i know i do not have it.
Ah well at least if you search on the Nvidia website there is a fix for the balloon.

:lol:
