make sure you have the codecs installed,
DivX seems to be a really popular one lately, and it plays weird garbage all over if you are playing a DIVX movie with no codec installed...

But i'm not sure what the problem is, maybe a screen shot?

Just a stab in the dark, since everyone else is either ignoring this or sleeping.

Try updating your video drivers
Try reinstalling Windows Media Player
Try updating your codecs

What do you mean by video mode change? Also make sure you have all the updates for Win XP since you just upgraded. There are tones of them. I personally would also recommend service pack 2 if you don't already have it. And he most likely suspect is your video card drivers IMO. What are your system specs?

directx and video card drivers 2nd

should fix it, probably you have xp incompatable drivers for the video card.
