Xvid playback problem - extreme contrast, skew to yellow, etc.

I have a clean install of Windows 2000. Up to date video drivers, DX9c, Windows Media Player 9. I downloaded the latest version of the Xvid codec for movie playback, and while the movie will play, the color and contrast are terribly off. I’d compare it to looking at a JPEG with only 16 colors.

What’s bizarre is that if I use the FourCC Changer app that comes with the Xvid codec and change the movie to Divx, it plays perfectly, even though I have no Divx codec currently installed.

If I *DO* download Divx 6, then the movie plays terribly again, regardless of what FourCC I set it to.

I’m really at a loss to explain what’s going on. Any thoughts or suggestions?
