RealPlayer & Windows Media Players resoltuion

Hello all,

After installing Vista and playing the video clips that I downloaded when I
was using Windows XP, the video resolution seems lower (video images more
'blockky').

My monitor was the same in both operating systems.

When I played this videos, I did get a message that says somehting like that
"format being converted to Vista Basic colour scheme' (Not exact wording).
Does this effect the video resolution?

Thanx in advance.

I thought it was just me! I find the videos I have watched in Vista
horrible as compared to XP. Even DVD's do not look as good, and I have a
BETTER graphics card in the Vista Machine (GeForce 512MB 8800 GT in Vista
vs. 256MB 6800GS in XP)

Did you get that message when playing back in Windows Media Player with
RealPlayer completely shut down?
What file types are these?
What video card do you have with what video card driver version?
(dxdiag.exe on your system can help you get that information.)
What score does your video card get on the Windows Experience Index?
