Help Topic, AVI playing garbled

[Sueng]

Hey people,
Long time lurker first time poster. I'm having a little problem playing AVI files on my computer and I thought what better place to go for asking for help then here. Hopefully someone can assist me with this problem. Basically, I have reformatted my computer for the upteenth time and now I am having problems playing back AVI files. Below are two links to the screenshots of how AVI's play in WMP, and in WMC. Whenever I play the AVI file in WMP, Zoom, or Windows Media Classic, I get the garbled AVI image you see there. However, whenever I play them in Windows Media Center, I get the nice crystal clear image you see in the second image. I am at a loss what to do to alleviate this problem. I prefer other media players instead of Windows Media Center because Windows Media Center doesn't have abilities to seek my video if I stopped in the middle or something the other day. I appreciate the help if this question gets answered.

Wow that's weird. What happens in VLC?

The same thing happens in VLC. I'm going to try to roll back the drivers and see what happens. Sadly, I didn't test the video playback before installing the driver. Now I have to take time out to roll them back.

I was right on the money. Rolled back the driver and everything seemed to be okay. Thanks for help.
