Windows Media player has purple haze to video?

Are you sure this is just with Media Player?  If you are using a CRT (like a TV picture tube) for a monitor it can become magnetized and will make things look purple.   Every time you turn it on, it degausses (de-magnetizes) itself.  You may try turning it on and of a few times.

If you open up media player and click guide, find downloads and then codecs, you can get new audio and video codecs for free from microsoft, that should fix the problem.

It could be that the person who sent you the file is using\nQuick Time Player with WMV plug-in, this does cause some\nproblem. The only solution, is to drag the file to desktop,\nopen your Windows Media Player and click on "open file"\nthen choose the desired file (which may have the QTP logo\nwith the letters wmv under) and it will open normally. When the\nvideo is finished the QTP logo will have changed automatically\nto the yellow and blue Windows logo. The reason for this? The\nQTP+wmv url does not match a direct WMV url, at least this is\nthe message I receive when opening directly. I use a iMAC OSX\nTiger, so I may be wrong, but it is worth trying. Good luck pal.

if all else fails u have 2 choices...(1) go to microsft.com and re-install ur encoder files for win media player with out these it will be almost impossible to view anything....no video's of any sort..it is possible to get generic encoder files from a bundled disc ...BUT if not microsoft signed it will work for short time then nothing again...(2) it is a hassle but u can also un-install to re-install and start all over again..am just afraid u loaded third party driver's and crashed ur media files...it happens to most everyone so don't feel like a lone duck

You might have a corrupted plug-in. First I would recommend installing the new IE7 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie afterwards install the new Windows Media Player 11 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia . That should fix all your problems. If you continue to have problems message me and I can help you further. I deal with these kind of issues all day for our 30+ employees.

Try reinstalling your original Windows Media Player.  If that doesn't work you may try to download another version of the Windows Media Player which should include the proper codecs needed to function correctly.

their answer doesn't seem solve your problem? i think that there's something to be fixed with your registry errors. first, download: http://www.freewarefiles.com/program_9_100_9367.html\ninstall this free registry fixer, scan your system, then you can delete all the green tags in the results.\n\nthen uninstall all the codecs you have previously installed, because they are causing more problems than good resolution to your player (just retain the windows codecs installation package from microsoft.com); then restart your pc, then run TweakNow RegCleaner once more, then reinstall WMP 10 (i prefer this most stable version than WMP 11), be sure that your windows updates are really up to date by checking on microsoft.com\n\nif this solve your problem, then you owe me 10 points for my answer, thanks! good luck!

could be an error in your media player.  but if it is an audio file then that is normal since the visualizations don't really matter.  but video files, then you might want to fix your software by re-installing it from microsoft.com or upgrading to the next player version.  beta 11 is the newest

could be a few things including, but not limited to, it's possible that your cpu is overheating, video playback requires a lot of processor power and it's possible it's pushing yours over the edge, when was the last time you took some canned air to your heat sync?\nyour video card driver is somehow corrupt or some other issue with the video card, go to the manufacturer's website and download a newer driver (right click My Computer > properties > hardware > device manager > display adapters.  that should show you who makes the video card (if you don't already know), then just go to their website and download the latest driver.\nit's possible windows media player is somehow corrupt (hah imagine that, microsoft software not working?! ;] ), i personally like media player classic as an alternative to WMP if i use windows\nMPC for XP: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/guliverkli/mpc2kxp6490.zip?modtime=1142869788&big_mirror=0\nMPC for 9x/ME: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/guliverkli/mpc98me6490.zip?modtime=1142869817&big_mirror=0\n\nhopefully one of these will help ;)
