A great annoyance
« on: November 04, 2005, 07:45:39 PM »

For some reason when I try to play a video, almost always it will have distorted color.  Red appears blue, yellow plays green, etc.  They play this way in Windows Media, Kazaa's Media Player, and dozens of other media players.  Oddly enough, the only program that plays them normal every time is a free version of Quicktime downloaded from their site, but you can't toggle fullscreen, you can't play .avi's or DIVX and my PC doesn't run it very seamlessly.  This is a rebuilt PC (New Video Card, HD, CD- ROM , OS, etc.)  It's always been this way since I added these.  Though sometimes it plays them normally in Windows MP, it's very rare.  Any ideas are appreciated, thank you.

It's not the software, it's your perceptual reality dude.  My advice is to see a shaman.

It's not working because you touch yourself at night.

Dropping acid will make everything apper that way. My advice, lay off the smack.
