Media Player freezes

[Panda On Smack]

Media Player is teh shit!

Ages ago i put media player 9 on which seems to just freeze after a while. I can be watching somethign and the image stops working but the sound is ok.

I uninstalled it and went back to the original media player 6 which works perfectly fine.

In a moment of madness i just put 9 back on and its freezing again.

Im on Win 2k.

This happen to anyone else?

You don't run a dual monitor setup by any chance?

Out of interest it's a little known fact that the hugely versatile and completely free image viewer IrfanView can actually playback most of the common movie types too, although I've never got it to work properly on some of the DivX Codecs.
