Weird thing...all my videos only play in B&W now

Except quicktime .mov files and DVDs, but those're different.
Mpegs, Divx, you name it, play only in black & white. I've tried various video player apps, all the same. They might start out in color for the first frame or two, but then they switch over. If I'm using Windows Media Player, and I Alt-Enter to switch back and fourth to fullscreen, it comes back to color another split second, then back to B&W. The only video app that has actually given me errors is BSPlayer. The first error to pop up says "Display hardware is not capable of color-space conversions. Switching to RGB". The second error that pops up after I click Okay to the first, just tells me that the video is in an unknown file format. No matter what format it is.
I'm on a 3 year old PC with Windows ME and a GF2 MX400 video card.
I've tried updating my video card drivers, finally installing DirectX 9, reinstalling a couple of the various video codecs... Nothing works. Any ideas?
Edit: Okay, after extensive searching, I read that if you turned hardware acceleration down to None in WMP's options, and it fixes it, that it's probably a video driver problem. Well, I did this, and it works now, but only in WMP of course. I wish BSPlayer would work right. Anyways, why would it just start doing that all of a sudden though? I hadn't changed my drivers or anything before they starting playing in B&W
