Windows Media Player 9

**kilo_sierra17** · 12-08-2002, 10:04 PM

I have hade WMP 9 for a while and quite like it, however recently, whenever a song starts to play it slows down then gets going just fine again, it is not the sound file, it sounds find in other players that I have, and this only happens when I play and Audio File, it does not do it when I play music videos, anyone have any idea on why it is doing this?

Sorry I don't have an answer for ya Kurt ( I thought I was up-to-date with my WMP version 7.0 :-lol ) but perhaps removing it from your hard drive and reinstalling it will help ( :-hmmm ). Only other thing I can think of is make sure your version of DirectX you're running is compatible with WMP v. 9

Sorry I'm not of more assistance....maybe someone else will see this and has experienced the same problem....Good luck

Regards,

Bob

Well it is the beta so I figured some bugs would come out of it, this is the only one, cant uninstall, the only way to remove was a system resotre, under XP, but it was so long ago, I tried to donwload again and install it but that did not help, this only started to happen a week ago, have had for about 2 months, got DX 8.2, worked find after I got it for about 1 month, anyone with some more help would be greatly appreciated.

No idea. Maybe a sound card conflict, drivers uninstalled, virus perhaps.
