Is there a Matrox gfx card in the laptop or have you installed any codec packs lately?

I know there was a part of some codec pack made only for Matrox cards. Because Matrox without the extra codec would show things upside down and non-matrox cards with the codec would show things upside down...

This reminds me of FF7 years ago and the indigo codec was needed to play the movies the right way.

The graphics card is a Integrated Intel 900 GMA with up to 128MB of shared video memory. I also installed the ace mega codecs pack so I guess it could have installed the matrox codec. I will only see my daughter at the weekend so I'll have a look then. Thanks for your help guys, it is much appreciated.

Well while taking a look at the ace mega codecs pack it seems to be a lot of matrox codecs included in it.

A good advice would be to generally stay away from codec packs and go for FFDShow instead (much better IMO and less cluttering). Then it may need some extra's depending on videoformats etc. Like quicktime and realplayer formats, in that case there are great alternatives like RealAlternative and QuicktimeAlternative. All free and very useful IMO. Might be worth checking out..

Hope you can solve the problem!
