quicktime turns green

Thanks Melvin!

This frustrated me a damn lot. Glad to see it fixed.

Thank you Sniper Monkey 007...You’re a freakin' genius!!!

Thanks Sniper Monkey 007 !!!

I did as you advised:

..... open Quicktime<Edit<Preferences<Quicktime Preferences<Advanced Sub category “Video”. Instead of disabling the “Enable Direct3D video acceleration” like the article suggests keep that box enabled and instead disable the “Enable DirectDraw acceleration”. In other words keep all of the boxes checked except for Safe mode (GDI only)" and “Enable DirectDraw acceleration”.

No more green screen.

thanks Melvin - worked for me too

Thx Melvin!

Melvin-

You are a genius! Nothing worked for me, but you solved it!!!!! Thanks so much!!!

Unchecking the boxes did nothing for me, but repairing Quicktime did. Thanks!!

Changing drawing settings in Quicktime and/or changing the monitor settings in Windows didn’t work for me. I had the problem with Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Real Player even though I updated all of them. After further looking I found a fix that worked perfectly.

You need to run Microsoft’s “Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players”. It’s available here:

For me it was my asus splendid that was causing it, so if u have asus you might want to turn that off

I’ve been having the same “green screen” problem for months now - green screen only on “refresh” or at a second “viewing”. Had tried EVERYTHING until I tried:

Thanks Melvin — the only mystery is why everything was working OK (for years) until just a few months age.

Melvin Cox Rocks!!! Thanks so much for the simple instructions.

Thank you very much Melvin Cox. I read this post and after hrs of install and trying to delete leftover quicktime files and apple files and reinstalling quicktime, I was very stressed but this tip is an A+. These steps worked for me too. I thought it was the program but it was from what I can tell the tip Set Hardware Acceleration Slider to midpoint step that fixed my problem with this annoying green screen. You can hear sound but not see the movies. This fix works. Thanks to this site and this user posted tip.I quote as follows.."

Yes, thanks Melvin!
Experienced this problem already for months, with an FX5700. Drove me nuts - reinstalled al codecs etc, my video drivers, nothing worked - this does!
Do not even have to slide the video acceleration to midpoint, just one step below max works for me!

Wow, Melvin that worked like a charm and it was so easy! Thanks. Nothing else was working.

Worked for me too, thanks Melvin
