Adjust the colors. The display is a terrible yellow which can not be read.

Have Vista Home Premium, IE8. When play videos on Windows Media Player, they are yellow with no weird contrast and I can't read the information. How to I solve this problem?

Hi Headagain,
 
                                    
1. What is the format of the video that you play?
2. this issue happen with all videos or only some videos?
 
This can happen to cause some third-party media playing software installed on the computer, if you have one of these programs installed on the computer, you can uninstall it and see if the problem is resolved.
                                    
This can also occur if the driver for the graphics card on the computer is damaged or needs an update.
                                   
Method 1:
                                      
I suggest you uninstall the graphics driver that is present on the computer and then install the latest driver for graphic map of the manufacturer's Web site and check if it works very well.
 
How do I uninstall the driver of display on the computer card
 
a. Click Start, click Control Panel and then double-click System.
b. click on the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
  NOTE: If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
c. Click to expand network adapters.
d. under network adapters, double-click the entry for your network adapters and then click on the driver tab.
e. click on uninstall
f. follow the Wizard Uninstall to uninstall the network adapter driver.

Method 2:
                            
You can also try to reduce the video acceleration to check if that helps.
                         
a. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.
b. click Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab and then click on change settings.
Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.
