I'm running an almost brand new system, about 3 weeks old. It's been running great except one problem. I'll lose the ability to watch any video with WMP. If I reboot it will come back, but eventually it will stop working again. Sometimes it works for quite a while and other times it quits working within a minute of rebooting. Has anyone seen this before, I'm running WMP 10, and I did try re-installing it, it did not help. Any help would be appreciated, this is very annoying.

It seems that fixed it. Thanks for the helpful, and quick, response. That's why I've been using computing.net for the last 3 years!
