Whenever I play a video in windows media player I get these weird blocks and lines of yellow, orange, blue, and other colors in the video. Now this doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes the video will be displayed perfectly. But most of the time I get funky colors in it.

I have tried looking for a solution to this problem and have tried changing the hardware acceleration in options to every setting still with no success. All my drivers are updated. I even downloaded windows media player 10 beta to see if it may fix it. Still the same results. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

hehe. Yeah that probably would solve it. I've tried reinstalling all the codec packages from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx and have reinstalled DirectX with no luck :(

Here I took some screenshots of the weird colors:
