whenever i try to play a wmv file w/ windows media player, the color is all messed up...from what ive noticed, its just the wmv files, because i can play avi w/ media player w/o any problem. quick time also works just fine. ive tried installing media player again, and that didnt work so i did a restore, and that didnt work either. ive checked out the settings and nothing it out of the ordinary, so could someone please venture a guess as to what is going on here?
 
Honestly, the only software that i have ever liked from microsoft is XP Professional, Server 2003, and Office. Otherwise i hate each and every product they have software-wise for the PC. The WMP is totally crap for playing movies, i suggest programs such as DIVX or Media Player Classic as alternatives. They include many of the codecs you need for most of the video types out there.

Your problem sounds like a corrupt codec or problems residing with the codec in the first place. I personally never use WMP, and i know a lot of other people that don't also.
 
i have media player 10 and i tried win amp for wmv files and that had the same effect...also, any internet hosted wmv files have weird color 2
 
try this

go to tools options then performance tab on video acceleration then set all the settings on except the full screen mode
 
wmv

im glad i could help its beeen awhile since i was having the same problems.divx is crap the wmp is the best for movies these other guys dont really have a clue iand im sorry MICROSOFT 2000 server is a very stable OS .XP has to many back doors.

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it

    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales

    That's an arbitrary number. It could be whatever you want, really. Though one wonders what the use case is for uploading giant files to a forum these days.

    I should have asked elsewhere but i wanted vsnes to see he is trying to upload a pic no big deal it can stay where it is.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    That was a fun trip. Next time I am going to get some kind of water thing like a kayak or something to boat out n the lake, maybe get a place with a pier on it.
