For a while now, I have been plagued by a rather unusual tech issue. All the media files (movies, trailers, etc) I run on my computer seem to suffer from a lack of color. They aren't completely in black in white, but look 'paler' then normal. The one type of file that doesn't seem bother by this is the quicktime movie. I can run those just fine. One of the solutions I've found is deactivating directdraw and direct3D through turning down the hardware acceleration on the 'problem solving' tab of 'monitor' on the configuration screen. I thought it might be the drivers (I have an Nvidia Geforce FX 5200), but changing those didn't help. Needless to say, I don't fancy keeping that on as a permanent solution, but it'll do for the moment. Any suggestions?
