Strange output of video in Windows Media Player

Hi!
i am getting strange output in windows media player(WMP) 10 however Audio plays fine.
Here is a little history of what i have done >
This paragraph tells that how i played with codec packs
I installed k-lite codec pack because i thought it would remove my codec problem and i have to use only one application however during installation it asked me to remove "Quick time" and other codec to prevent conflicts to which i entered ok/yes.
After few days i have to use a application and it gave me error that quick time plugin not found so i uninstalled k-lite codec pack and installed k-full codec pack it also asked me to remove "Quick time" and other codec to prevent conflicts to which i entered ok/yes, even then some software depending on quick time said that quick time is not found.
So i searched the net for a mega codec pack and i installed a professional codec pack (cannot remember the name/it's name contained "professional") this codec pack slowed my system a lot so i uninstalled it and installed k-lite codec pack and quick time separately but later i found that .avi files are not playing in WMP. then i installed k-full codec pack even then .avi files were not playing in WMP so i installed a .avi codec pack separately.
later i found that WMP and "Cyber link power DVD player" does not play any video files correctly.
they both gave similar output(attached image)

so i uninstalled all codec packs and reinstalled WMP 10 and "Cyber link power DVD player" but it did not helped then i installed WMP 9 but did not helped
so i open device manager and uninstalled all video codecs and installed Direct X 9 but of no use
finally i restarted my pc in safe mode and uninstalled all "sound, video and game controllers" in device manager and restarted my pc in normal mode.
after that i am able to play my videos in "Cyber link power DVD player" but i am got the same output in Windows media player(WMP) 9.
so in installed WMP 10 but i am still getting the strange out put in WMP 10.

Note=VLC media player played the videos correctly all the time.
I had searched all the internet, asked my friends but i am not able to solve this problem. The only solution remains to my knowledge is to format windows and reinstall it again however it would remove my all updates which i have done to windows by windows updater and i don't want to lose it as i am a dialup user and it takes a lot of time to update windows.
I hope that i could find a solution here.
