WMP 9 visualizations/plug ins

[Special K]

First of all, is there any way to change the resolution of WMP9's visualizations? They seem to be running at a fairly low res. Second, does anyone know of any good ones or a good place to download them?

I've got an AMD xp2600 and a radeon 9700 pro and the visualizations run like crap unless they are full screen.

ALT-ENTER for full screen.

When you say they run like crap, do you mean they run at a low fps, or they just look bad (but run at a fast speed)?

If I had to guess I'd say they were running at about 7-10 fps when not maximized.

If you want real visualizations... get winamp, and then get milkdrop..

Sooooooo much better than windows media player

Yeah, I used to use winamp3 for the longest time then finally decided to give WMP9 a try. It's way better than winamp3, IMO, in every area except the visualizations. (and in that area it's significantly worse)

I like wmp9 much better than winamp. I don't generally use visualizations unless my daughter is in the room because she likes to see them. If I'm listening to music on my comp it's because I'm doing something else.

To answer your original question, to change the resolution (not all of them support this), click on tools, plug-ins, options.
Highlight visualizations, select the vis you want to change and hit properties.
