I'm guessing you have XP and you have Service Pack 2. SP2 contains lots of security addons and has it's own firewall.\n\nTo view right click My Computer and select properties\n\nif you turn off your firewall there it may help but of course a firewall is there to stop nasty's....\n\nIt could be a codec issue, go to google and enter all in one codec. It will bring you up a site where you can download the codec. Install that and should help.

It should happen in real time.  Give or take...\n\nYou may want to try a different media player to the one you're using - VLC is free and quite good.  Also, is your graphics card a current model with the latest drivers? You should also deactivate all utility software during the process - virus checks, background moitors etc.

Do you have the latest version of Media Player?  I don't have any problem as mine, but I update it every time a new version becomes available.  Mine all have titles except for the ones I've burned myself, but then, that's understandable.\n\nFirstly, check that your set-up is correct, and if it is, check if there's a later version of Media Player, or go into the Help Section and see if you can detect an answer to the problem in there.\n\nGood luck - I hope this helps. :-)

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.

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

Go to your Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel. Check if the right things are selected, on every tab. Same with your media player.

Maybe it's corrupt. Try downloading it again. Or maybe you don't have the correct codecs.

Forget Windows Media Player and get the VLC Player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html (it supports all video codecs)

Try the XP codec pack from the site below.\n\nAlso try using another media player, like Zoom, Media Player Classic is included with the codec pack.

OHH THE HUMANITY! What emergency? Try reinstalling your video software. I cannot believe you reformatted for avi files! Go to download.com and get a different player, there are many things you can do rather than reformat, sounds like you have been taking advice from hardware_guy!

You will have to clean your registry, use CCleaner. The Windows Media Player 11 has left remnants of itself in the registry.
