    I need a little help with my video. I have a Nvidia Geforce FX5200 and until recently all worked well playing videos either through Media Player or Divix player. Now all the vids are grainy and pixelated and the color is fried. I dl'd the latest drivers and upgraded the players to no avail. Any suggestions?

    color is set at 32bit. I'm also getting the latest codec for WMP to see if that helps.

    Thx again...I'll check them out. Not much of a gamer but play every now and again so might as well be up to date.
