All the movies that i play on this computer are in black and white. I don't know what causes this nor do i know why, but i need someone who experienced this before or knows about this to help me.
+ Rep to whom ever fixes this problem.
Thank you.

First off, are you using a dvi or analog cable? Second what is the hertz and refresh rate at which you are running your video card?
-check if that is the recommended setting for your moniter. Third, check if your direct x is updated. Fourth, make sure the player is set to color XD (probably is). if all is right, i dont know what the problem could be.

I think Razemeth is right. First time I reformatted all my videos were black. After updating my codecs everything worked fine.

Can you tell me what kind of video card you are using. If I know that i could fix this problem. Some video cards have errors in the drivers while watching videos and there is often a driver you can download for most video cards to help this problem. Also some video cards custom video programs to black white. This can be changed in your video setting. There is a lot of things you can do without downloading multiple programs just give me a pm or something with some more information about this. Or just put it in this thread I will check it later tonight.

I reinstalled the codec, that didn't help, my monitor is set to 75Hz When optimum is 60Hz (i tested all possible Hz's and none worked). I know the players are in color because before they all played in color. Thanks for the suggestions though.
Edit: Btw, this problem happened when i plugged in my new monitor.
