Since we're talking about codec/video funkiness... i've got both the divx and xvid codecs on my machine and i think (altho i'm not sure) that they are causing issues with Windows Media Player 9 locking up with wmv files (actually it's the whole machine that locks up...need to reboot). This is on a win2k pro machine. P4 1.5 GHz with a gig of RAM.
I've had this problem in the past, and remember trying to uninstall the other codecs, and the issue with wmv freezing was not resolved (that, and a couple of other lingering issues made me go with a fresh fdisk and reformat...something i'm not inclined to do right now). I -could- download the media player 'classic' from the link below...but if anyone has any ideas why wmv's are killing my machine with media player 9, i'd like to see if i can actually fix the problem rather than work around it.
