Windows Media Player 9 video prob

I just upgraded to Media player 9 and now sometimes certain video files will play, but the video will flicker in and out and then the screen will flicker...but other times the same file will play perfectly normal. Has anyone else had this problem since they upgraded?
Before I upgraded everything played back just fine. I have an Nvidia TNT2 video card if that really matters at all. Thanks a ton for any help.

Thanks a lot, I found that just having the Use Overlays selected is what causes it. I wonder why I never had to do this with any other version of Media Player.
