Windows Media Player 9

[jfnz24]

Having a problem with Windows Media Player 9. No matter what is playing, after about 5 minutes, the program begins using all available processor resources, and the only way to stop it is to close the program. I have tried the one Microsoft hotfix listed (don't remember the number off the top of my head), but with no luck. This problem is an ongoing problem, and I don't want to format, as I just did recently and have everything the way I want it. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are running xp have you considered Media Player 10?

I've considered it, but would like to find out the problem with media 9 first, in case it is a problem that carries over. Recently formatted the machine, so I don't want to have to do it again
