The video plays black and white in Windows Media Player, how can I add color?
This problem is usually caused by a bug in the graphics drivers. First try resetting all the drivers settings to their default values. If that doesn’t help, then try a different version of the driver, either older or newer. A workaround that often works in Windows Media Player is to go to the Tools menu, Options, Performance and Advanced. That brings up the video acceleration settings. There you should see options called Use overlays and Use high quality mode. Change those settings and restart WMP.
