    When I try to view any video on my new PC the colours are completely shagged and everything looks like an early 80s POP video. What's going on? Cheers.

    I'm guessing

    Either:</p>

    1) Your PC is running in 256 colour mode. To change it click on the desktop -&gt; properties -&gt; settings -&gt; Colour quality.</p>

    Set colour quality to highest.</p>

    2) (More likely) You need to install some codecs to make the movie files work. Download and install this and try again.</p>

    Is your new base unit a vertical or a horizontal one?

    Colour set to highest so not that.

    Downloaded the codecs but all is just the same. Thanks anyway.

    It's blue (I'm shaking my fist at the screen!)
