I can't seem to watch videos on Winamp or Windows Media Player anymore. I got a ATI X1650 card and got the latest driver for it but it still doesn't fix the issue.

A new video card would not solve this issue, its probably software related...
You may need to reinstall the software
Go to Start
Control Panel
and Add/Remove Programs
And uninstall Windows Media Player
Then find your version, and reinstall it from here:

Do the same thing for Winamp, and reinstall it from here:
http://www.winamp.com/player/
This will re-associate the file extensions, as well as set any registry values that have been corrupted.

What I said is that I just bought a new video card. I used to have an X850 but I needed to upgrade. This even happened with Quicktime as well.
Also, I did fix this issue by reinstalling Divx and that helped, now its happening again and I reinstalled Divx again, only this time it didn't work.
And yes, I went to upgrade both Winamp and WMP and that did not work at all.

So, after you upgraded the video card you started to have visual issues? I don't think codecs are the problem here, you can't watch any type of videos or only certain ones?

I just fixed it for sure this time. I went to the options>>>performance tab>>>advance button>>>disabled overlays.
However, I was using Media Player 10 before my card upgrade and left it that way and apparently, overlays must of gotten turned on and I don't let anyone on this computer unless they have permission. And no one has been on this one in awhile.

That you know of...
