Which Videos ?
I mean are all types of videos have this prolem.(VCD AVI MP4 ETC..ETC)
If this prob is with MPG codec
Then download Media player classic (*sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/)
Play an video
Click On drop down play on the menubar
navigate to filters
Select MPEG video decoder (Only visible if U are playing an MPG file)
Check weather "colour" is selected or not
Or
better download K-lite codec pack and install that
