I originally posted this message in the Windows Media
Newsgroup, but I think it is more than a Windows Media
Player problem.

When I start a video clip, it starts out in color for less
than one second. Then it only plays in black and white.
This happens with all video types. It even happens when
viewing online. I tried other programs to open video
clips, like Blaze Media Pro, Divx player, AVI Preview,
Quick Time and Real Player, and all movie types play in
black and white. When Real Player is playing a video, if
I move the window around, it is in color, but goes to
black and white when I stop moving the window. This just
started today. Everything was fine yesterday. Does
anyone have any ideas?

I solved my problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the
video drivers.

Amazing. That's a lot better idea than mine, which was going to be to
wait until tomorrow.
