Windows Vista Media player 11 plays stretched pictures

[vistauser]

I have Vista Home premium and Media player 11. I am having problems with my pictures showing distorted and stretched. I have updated graphic card drivers from ATI's website, installed a k-lite codec pack, repair install and even created a new user account. I don't have this problem in third party programs. Anyone face anything similar? I hope I have provided enough info.
Thanks.

Can you check this setting for me?

1. Begin playing the video file.

2. On the Tools menu, click Options.

3. On the Devices tab, click Display, and then click the Properties button.

4. Adjust the pixel aspect ratio by using the slider and/or spin box controls.

5. Click the Apply button.

The video will begin playing from the beginning with the new pixel aspect ratio settings that you applied. Repeat this procedure until the video playback appears normal.
