it doesn't necessarily have to be a defect with any of the software, it could be that u have hidden programs running in the background that r wasting speed...happens w/ my comp often, so i close the other programs

peace

ok i tryed that and it still happends.....any other ideas

If your keen to use windows media player, try visiting http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ , this site tells you what updates are avaliable for windows (I think media player is covered).

Also as AnotherWay83 said, other programs running could be taking up memory and resources, seeing as the playa works, id assume that media player takes up more memory/wants more resources.

If you know how to run defrag then run it, it may help.

Yeah, defraging should help, imm assuming u dont have loads of RAM (like 512 meg +) therefore windows will be using virtual memory (using part of the hard disk to fool the system into thinking its RAM). If you drive is fragmented (Parts of the files all over the disk) then defragging will set things right.

I think this because in general videos are large files, and u mentioned that they only stopped for a split second which could mean memory and virtual memory is at the fault, try defraging, theres nouthing bad it can do .....as long as you know wot ur doing

tiesto14: use this proggie

go to

--> start --> run --> type in "mplayer2" --> hit enter

Media Player will pop up (the previous one...not the new one)
use that to play the files...see what you get.

Personally, I like this better than the newer one...such a bloated piece of shite!

Just tried that, its media player without all the "extra" bits microsoft think we need, like internet seachs about the current artist etc
