Windows Media Player 9 series

A while back I upgraded to Media Player 9. Yes, it is beta, but has worked flawlessly up until now. Now any new file I download that is not a mp3 video file will play but will flash in and out as it plays. Any ideas? Yes, I could use system restore to regain the old version, but I upgraded weeks ago and do not want to lose all the other things I have done since then.

 

Hi stpplush
Did you ever find a solution? I just stumbled upon this. Does it help at all?

Yes it has been solved. I first downloaded some fancy codecs from kazza. The player worked without flashing for about an hour, then it returned. I gave up for a while. Then a week ot two back I decided to upgrade my video card. Mine was subpar for unreal 2003. Anyways, problem solved. I don't know why. Maybe my card didn't like 9. However it only played certain file types back flashy. I don't know, but I'm glad it's fixed. Plus now I am running a geforce 4 4600 TI and am loving it!!

 

Hi stpplush
Good to hear back from you. Glad you got it all worked out. Funny you should mention graphics cards. I got asked recently about one I'd recommend. (I'd not a flipping clue) How do you like yours?

Unbelievable is all I can say. I had an old TNT2 Nvidia that came with the system. It was fine...or so I thought until I got the Geforce 4. Like nothing I've ever seen before. I would highly reccommend to anyone!!

 

Hi again stpplush
Thanks so very much for posting back. I'll have to write that one down, for the next time I'm asked. Greatly appreciate your feedback.
