Windows Media Player Problem...

[DJ-phYre]

When I am looking at a video, and I move the Seek bar, sometimes the video gets to where it is going in fast motion. This happens if I move the seek bar more than once, and if I only move it once it is fine. Someone told me it is either my computer or my video card that can not keep up with the framerate of the video.

I have a 3.0GHz P4 and a 6600GT... I don't see how I could be falling short of the power I need. Is it because I am running at 1600x1200?

Is there anyway to fix this? Are there any media player alternatives that are worth downloading?

vlc player

not sure about your wmp problem, but the vlc player is a great alternative and has played everything ive thrown at it (besides .mov and .rm, of course. you may even be able to get those types to play with a plug-in, but ive never tried) without a hitch.

I really liked WMP before I formatted. Now that I formatted I get this problem. Maybe it happened when I upgraded it to 10 after fresh install?
