OK this is the thing, everything is OK except that .... I cannot fast forward while watching something ... and if I try to fast forward or rewind it .. it restarts from the start of the movie ... so basicaly I gotta watch the movie till the end without the opportunity to forward or back the movie ... any ideas why ??

Is this a double post? I just found this exact same post under Other Software.

If wmp9 is still a beta, you might have your answer. Contact M$ bug report and check google for similar problems.

I got WMP9 and everything works fine for me, but I have had certian .avi files that I couldn't fastforward or rewind in and that was with 7.1, have you tried other .avi files??

There was a problem with the skin that came with WMP9, so I changed it to a diffrent one ..and it works fine now
I dont like using buncha diffrent players to watch my **** .. I like one player that plays it all.

I could be the result of improper mating of CODECs. I noticed that last night my Divx codec for Media Player ceased to play anything but the audio. I opened up the Divx player and it played them just fine. This was not the case the last time I played Divx movies using MP.

Of course, this is with MP8 and not MP9.

didn't think of that one, could be the reason, especially as I have loads of different software for various forms of media.... codecs, converters etc etc....

will uninstall a few and see if that is what causes the prob

what do peeps thinks of the new media player by the way?

BTW, I have also found that just because something doesn't run in MP8 on one PC, say running XP, cannot automatically run on 2000. Actually, I have had different versions of Windows running on different PCs with the exact same version of MP running but one will play a movie file and the other will not.
