Brightness/contrast issue, and "Green frame"

This is a somewhat deep issue, but I’ll try to explain the issue the best I can.

I reccently reformatted my main drive but on my slave I kept a bunch of videos and raw footage from my DV editing.

Now after the clean windows install I have an issue with windows media player causing my videos to be flooded with a white grain. It looks as if the video’s brightness or contrast is cranked all the way up. It’s hard to make distinctions in the video. Well I messaed around and if I turn off video acceleration in WMP (from full to none on slider bar) the issue is resolved, but with out Video acceleration the video plays a little choppy and a little pixelated. I could probably live with this but now larger video files tend to crash WMP.

I downloaded other players and the problem occurs in other players, BS Player, Divx, and in Quicktime the problem doesn’t occur but occasionally QT locks up and the video screen becomes a solid green color.

I’ve updated WMP to the most resent release and installed a bunch of codecs but nothing is fixing it. I’ve installed my video card’s most recent drivers too.

Any help would be appriciated.
