My PC shows only black and white DVD's

[Mysticav]

Hi,

Since today, My PC only shows my DVD in B/W.

The same DVDs I was looking in color yesterday, today look only B/W.

What's happenning ?

I 'm talking about a DVD-ROM not a standard external DVD player.

So, I guess the problem is with my PC, or my video card.

I didn't change any settings.

What software are you playing the DVDs in ?


SOMETHING must have changed in regards to settings if the exact same DVD WAS playing in color and is NOW playing in B&W. AFAIK most PCs don't have AI yet

Even I'm having the same problem.

But mine is with the TV. When DVD player is connected to the TV....everything is b& W and there is no sound. Connections are pretty fine. After turning off the TV, the TV screen appears a kind of blue and green color and then disappears. Is it affecting the TV?

What cud be the reason?

Jim i suppose there COULD be an issue with video card / drivers going to the place where gremlins play with them....

But that would mean that something has changed !! :P :P

Is the rest of your screen and apps in full colour as normal?
Is it only specific DVD's or all of them?
Have you tried a different media player? (PowerDVD, WMP etc etc)
Do the discs play properly in a standalone player?

and

any other info u think might be helpful?

If you were saying that this problem was in a standalone player, i would say that somehow the thing is deciding to only recognise PAL instead of NTSC (or vica versa) for whatever reason.
As far as I am aware PC's dont have this issue.
