    The last two emails I have gotten that contain video are not playing properly on my WMP. They have an orange "photo negative" effect.

    I'm sure this is a setting somewhere but I don't know.

    Help!

    Thanks...

    Did you try to update your Windows Media Player codecs:

    Depending on the file extension, you try to play it with another player like QuickTime or RealPlayer.
