Problem playing videos at Putfile.com

Since installing a new graphics card (ATI X1300 Pro) I get psychedelic colors when trying to view videos at Putfile.com. The videos seem to run ok, just with messed up colors. All other games and graphics seem OK. I didn't have this problem with my old GeForce card. I don't have this problem with Video.Google.com videos. I've installed the latest drivers for the card. OS is XP Home. I've searched here and elsewhere for an answer with no luck. Help!?

 

So, is it that this is my first post here? Too trivial a problem? So simple that the answer is obvious? Maybe someone could direct me to another forum where I could get the help I need?

 

Welcome to MG's!

First question, no. Second question, no. Third question, no. Fourth question, don't see why we can't help you here..so first things first..I'll move your thread to the hardware forum where you are likely to get your issue resolved as the problem began with the installation of a new video card, it seems it is hardware related. That in part likely explains the reason for lack of responses in the software forum. Added to that, many of our regulars are primarily here during the week so it tends to be a little slower on the weekends.

Hang in there...someone will get to you ASAP!

 

I did uninstall the drivers and card software before installing the new one. Installed your suggested codec pack, and still have the same problem.

 

I was going to suggest you try re-seating the card but after reading your post again I see you indicate you only have this problem at the one website. I checked their help file section and it wasn't very helpful...is it a certain file type from there or all file types on the site?

 

I've been unable to determine which file types they use at that website. When I try and right click on the video, it says right clicking is not allowed. Is there another way to determine file type?

 

I watched a bunch of random ones at the site just now and according to my temp internet files they were all in WMP format. Do you have problems with any other files in WMP format?

 

@ Halo..I had noted the different file types they accept for upload..we have linked to that site before via the home page & IWL but I wonder if they convert everything to WMP format once it's uploaded? I can't recall ever going there and viewing a file in any format but WMP.

 

That did it! Thank you soooo much!
