video card trouble

So I recently bought a NVidia GeForce FX 5500 by 3d Fuzion (authorized Board Partner of Nvidia), its old but so is my computer and I just wanted it so that I can play Civ 4. So I installed all the drivers then I installed the card itself. So all the colors of everything looked really washed out. I ran the color optimization and everything looked good. Then I tried to watch some videos on my hard drive and here is where the problems began. If I use winamp or media player it doesn't matter the color looks really washed out and too bright. If I open a video, pause it, then adjust the color settings it looks good. But then if I play another video, like I finish what I'm watching and put on the next episode in the series I'm back to square one. I don't understand why the settings won't save, my wallpaper looks good still its just video. It is driving me insane spending 5 minutes adjusting shit everytime i want to watch something. Oh yeah, if I watch something on youtube it looks fine but if I watch a video that uses the embedded version of media player it looks just as bad as its big brother.
I would like to put something clever and about me but I fear my company will find it

anyone....
Are you there God it's me Margaret
Did you get rid of your old drivers before installing the new ones?
Right click your desktop, go to properties, go to settings, check the dropdown box for color quality.
I'm in 32 bit color mode
And no I don't believe I removed the old drivers because the original video card was an on board one so its technically still in the computer but disabled
Also just to point out again, when I change the color settings my wallpaper remains changed, but the video doesn't
