I wonder if anyone can help me out with this one as im pulling my hair out trying to sort it out.Recently windows media player 9 will not play any video files at all,it will play mp3's but no video,when i try to play a video file with media player 9 all i get is a message on the player itself saying (Connecting) and then it freezes and i have to ctrl-alt-del and i get a "this program is not responding" message,i have tried uninstalling it and installing media player 7.1 but the same thing happens,strange thing is i can play video with the original wmplayer2 that comes bundeld with 98se,other video players i have play video files perfectly but media player 9 wont,are there any other good media players out there that i can get if i cant sort out media player 9,i do like media player but this is annoying the crap out of me,any response would be much appreciated...Thanks.

You'll probably never have any more vid player problems with this program below.

You can also reinstall your media player, worth a shot. Firewall, how does that correlate?
