I have a problem playing certain video files in media player 9. When I try to play files like .wmv, .asf, and some .avi files, the sound is fine but the video is very slow and choppy. I tried to download some codecs but that didn't work. Is it my video card? I have plenty of ram in my system.

it sounds like a defective download, try downloading the entire WMP again. tell me what happens

This is the reason I have yet to go to WMP 9.0 I did early on and had nothing but problems and there are a lot of folks out there that continue to have problems.

The problem does not always occur. It only happens with certain files and the only fix I have found is to dump WMP 9.0 which I still feel is junk.

Just my opinion and nothing more.

I agree with Kevin. I actually downloaded WMP 9 just so that it would install some of the new MS codecs, but I sill use Windows Media Player 6.4 for pretty much every video out there.

Everyone that has Windows NT4 or higher has it. It's in the C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\ directory and is called mplayer2.exe. You can run it from the Run box by just typing mplayer2.

It's small, quick, and has a very nice, compact footprint. I have yet to find a better free player for almost any video format. If you know of one, tell me!

Thanks guys for your help. I'll try everything you told me and I'll tell you what happens

Thanks!!!
