Here RECENTLY, I can not play a DVD with Media Player. The MOVIE will lock up the computer. Can not use Cltr+Alt+Delete. The only way to GET out of it is to restart the computer. I was using Media 11 un-install it and download Media 9. The same thing happens.
I can play music using Media Player but not a DVD.
Any help would be appreciated.
O.S. XP PROI find media player really SLOW for some reason.

I use vlc player to watch movies, i think its a lot faster and less buggy.

here's a link:

I am just trying to fix or try to fix what MAY have caused the problem.
Not smart on computers but I am learning somethings.
I thought if I deleted Media Player 11. Even went to search for all hidden files to make sure it was all deleted. I then installed Media Player 9 and just my luck it still does not work.
Windows Media Player is simply a crappy program.
Go with vizvim's advice, and use VLC Player.Quote from: Broni on August 25, 2009, 06:37:22 PM
