Ok, I have like Vista up until now. Never had any problems with it, but all of a sudden, any video i watch, whether it be Quicktime, Media Player, youtube or whatever. All of them are black/white and dark. Has anyone ever seen this?
Thanks!

Is this happening on a machine that had previously played video correctly?????????

If so maybe reinstall graphics driver.

ouch that doesn't sound good, laptops are nice but when graphics start acting up they are a pain.

This is a bit of a late reply, but make sure that the most recent drivers are installed and that the video overlay settings, like brightness, contrast etc (through your media player of choice and ESPECIALLY in your video cards driver control panel) are set.

Try reset the values from the driver control panel and/or the media player in question.
