You may have either a bad case of spyware or you may have a bunch of programs running that you don't need. \nSpyware : SpyBot Search & Destroy is free\nStartups : look for "Startup Cop", a utility by PC Magazine

You have a problem with media player, and it could be any of a number of things.  Usually it's a problem of running out of space.  Empty temporary internet files (use cleanup) and run defrag.  Do you get any specific error messages?

Try using an alternate media player, such as Winamp.

I'm assuming that when you say Windows Media, you mean the video/music files.\n\nOpen Windows Media Player and click Tools/Options/File Types and tick everything in the list.\n\nApply/OK.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nJust in case you meant the Windows Media Player icon, then that sounds a bit dodgy and you may have some spyware/virus installed (make sure you have a check), but you can restore it back to the Windows Media Player icon...\n\nRight-click the icon and click on 'Properties' and at the bottom, click on the 'Change Icon' button and a window will pop up.  You will need to Browse to:\n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Windows Media Player&#92;wmplayer.exe\n\nand select the icon.

I usually use Windows Media Player. Just open it and resave it differently. Remember, making a file a smaller size often results in loss of quality.

This operation (ripping and transcoding high quality files) is one of the most demanding, so it's always going to be sort of slow. One way to speed it up is to choose a relatively low quality codec (MPEG1, for example, rather than Divx or WMV).\n\nI've used Magic DVD Ripper and found it quick enough, but then again it was a fast PC with 2GB of RAM.

There is a driver issue. Re-install Windows Media Player.

Close any instances of older versions of Windows Media Player if you have those running.  Also make sure you have enough disk space to install the program.  I'm not sure, but you might also have to be connected to the internet during the installation.  Make sure your connection is not dropping.

For most online work and word processing, it's plenty fast.  Your problem might be that Windows is overloaded with junk or infected with spyware - it happens even to much faster PC's.\n\nHopefully you still have a copy of Windows that you can reload.  I recommend backing your stuff up to DVD or a 2nd hard drive and then formatting your hard drive.  You can search the net for help...

Looks like you have a "corrupted" installation...\nTotally uninstall the program, then do a registry clean like PC Tools Registry Mechanic, then reboot your computer...then reinstall a "fresh" downloaded copy of Windows Media player and see if that doesn't fix the problem...

One thing i would look at is the number of processes running. Too many may be running consuming a massive chunk of your ram meaning less for the video & application.\n\nHijack this wont help with this problem. What you will need to do is spend a half hour or so looking at the "Processes" list when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Use a search engine and look up all processes consuming any unreasonable amount of ram.\n\nThis may sound liek it will take a while, and it will. BUt once you do so you will leave with possibly better video playback and a grasp on processes & which ones you need.\n\nThe first thing tho, you may want to dig into your media playback softwares performance options and test things out that way. And for videos on your drive, make sure your defragmented.\n\nGood luck...
