Betas are always a risk. Media player 9 will be a risk ever after the beta period is over. Since its a beta and your only one of a few who have it ... you wont get many responses about fixing it. You could try calling MS but they may not have a solution this early in the game and you will probably need a credit card number to speak with someone because your OEM wont support the upgrade to 9 since its a beta. System restore isnt working. You would get rid of your problems by formatting/reinstalling windows but i realize this isnt an option for everyone. Stick around for more advice and deal with the slowdown till a fix [if a fix] is released. Good Luck

I tryed to defrag the c drive and scan it but it wont it keeps restarting over and over and sometimes it just freezes. i have the restore to factory setting cd that came with the computer but my keyboard wont work at all at times, but when i do it just reinstalled win me and took more of my hd memory it was 60 now it say 30 or less on it. dont care about the software on the computer i can always get it back just want the hd to act fast again. help!!!1
