    Usually installing a codec pack is what can cause that problem, so I wouldn't try one to cure it. Try installing ffdshow. It's not a codec pack, but can handle most formats. In the case of Xvid, a corrupted codec can cause pink and green blotches. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

    I don't know what SP2 would have to do with the problem. But you might try VLC and if it works, then you likely have a codec problem.

    If it's not a codec problem, another possibility when you do a re-install is your graphics card settings and video player settings get reset. This happened to another poster very recently if you do a search.

    Check your video overlay settings.
