6800GT problems

Well I just built my new system which consists of an XFX 6800GT w/256mb, Athlon 64 3200+ s939 (venice), and Chaintech S1689 motherboard. When using the drivers that come with my video card (61.72), videos play fine. But when I update to the drivers on the nvidia website (77.72), most videos come out with a bright, over-exposed look. Sorta like it has way too mch contrast and color saturation. Hard to explain how it looks but it makes it unwatchable since all the colors are distorted. The only videos where this doesnt happen are quicktime videos and uncompressed videos (ones I took with fraps). Any suggestion?



Another problem I am having with this new card is that when I play the Far Cry demo it ooks horrible. I know hw it's supposed to look because It worked perfectly on my old Geforce FX 5900. But now, it looks horrible, sorta like its running in directx 7 or something. Other games such as Half-Life 2 and Halo work great and look the way they're supposed to. It seems that my 6800GT would run it better than my old 5900 but it looks horrible. This goes for any drivers I've tried. This is a screenshot I took of hw it looks...

Any help would be appreciated...
 
Have you checked your overlay settings under advanced video options. As for your second problem, I'm really not sure what to say as I don't see what's wrong ^^;
 
wooohooo... I fixed the first problem with the video overlay. Thanks alot. As for the issue with Far Cry, what I am saying is that most of the effects that are supposed to be in the game are gone, such as water effects and other stuff. I know they are supposed to be there because I have played Far Cry on different PCs and it looks the way its supposed to be. As you can see in the screenshot, there are no water effects, and no saders anywhere
 
Change the video settings in an options menu or something. And if you've already done that, do it again, and make sure you hit apply and restart the game. Maybe that will work.
 
it is the farcry demo...the 6800 was not out when the demo was released so when they herd of the 6800 they up'ed the graphs.. and made the game look alot better and brought it out... they made the game better when the 6800 came out
