Re: Windows Media Player 10
I still have version 8. Just wondering what you guys think of 10. 9 wasn't my cup of tea.

Re: Windows Media Player 10
10's been no worse than 9 for me, though it has a tendency to lock the system for a couple of seconds every time I start it. Don't seem to have been any significant improvements over WMP9 though, but seeing as I only use WMP for DivX's and the odd DVD i'm not too arsed either way.

Re: Windows Media Player 10
WMP 9 ****ed up things for my system, WMP 10 sorta fixed things but not altogether. Once I put on a fresh install of SP2...its fine.
Still dont use it for mp3's etc to be honest, don't trust it.
So for everything other than music.

It doesn't work on Windows 2000. I'm more than happy with that

Re: Windows Media Player 10
In 9 you had the option to make it 'Always on top in skin mode'.
Now you only have the option 'Always on top'.
What arsehole decided to change that option?

Re: Windows Media Player 10
Pretty much every version of WMP I can remember has been a bloated piece of crap.
Somehow I doubt this will be any different.

VLC is open source and plays any video-file without a crappy codec package which completely fckup up your system.

Re: Windows Media Player 10
maybe the file is corrupted. you can also try to watch it with the avi-previewer that comes with kazaa lite, that thing really plays everything.

Re: Windows Media Player 10
I've never really had any problems with it, seems better than version 8 which is what I had before but then again I've never really used either.

Re: Windows Media Player 10
i am currently running WMP10. so far so good. although, i prefered having the tabs along the side as it was in 9 rather than along the top as it is currently so
