Nvidia 8400GS video colors problems

pedrolobo · 08-04-2008, 08:52 AM

Hi,
I have a brand new PC with an ASROck motherboard and a Asus GEForce8400 GS card. I installed winXP with SP2 pack.
My problem is the following:
All videos (in Media player; Media player Classic) show a sort of green shade and not the right colors when I use a user account that has not administrator rights. If I open the nvidia control panel and try to play a video in the media player the colors are Ok. I close the control panel and try to play the same video then I get the green shaded video.
This does not happen in a user account with administrator rights.
If I give administrator rights to a limited account with this problem, the videos are Ok.
I uninstalled the mega pack video codec; I downloaded the latest drivers from nvidia. I tried to install a previous version of the drivers.
No luck at all. Nothing found in nvdida site on this. I'm stuck. Any hints?
Thanks

Have you tried to install the codec pack from the problem account?

I installed the codec pack from the admin account. However even with the codec pack uninstalled I have the same problem. So it is not the codec pack. As I mentioned, having the nvidia control panel opened the videos run ok. But I will try what you suggest. Thanks
