Media Software Problem - Please Help!
 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-08-21 17:36 [#00023691]



OK, my Windows Media Player whenever I try to open any of my
mpeg files it says "Conecting..." at the bottom forever.
I've tried to watch them with Quicktime but it can only
handle AVI files when I open an .mpg file I can only hear
the sound with a blank white picture, sometimes not even
that.

Second thing is my Winamp. Whenever I open it, it scrolls 1
by 1 to song 102, and during the time that its scrolling
slowly I can't put any song on, or anything. I have to wait
every time I open it 3 minutes to play a song, and after
that if I try to play a song before #102 it slowly scrolls
up to 102 and plays that. I tried reinstalling it and it
didn't fix it WTF is wrong with it?

I would have tried reinstalling Windows Media Player but I
don't know how to do it.
Anybody know what to do about these problems? Please post
or email me at xanatos@nyc.rr.com. Thanks.

I dunno. All I know is that windows media player is
horrible, I use it when I have to. to play DivX formatted
stuff. When playing AVI format {AVI is horrible as well,
really bad sound compression} you need to "Doctor" the
sound, its an option you can do to fix the movie into a
makeshift mpeg file. Shitty way to do things.

Winamp is what most people use, i used to use it too. But
now I use what came with my computer, and iam convinced it
is a superior mp3 application! For sure it is. You can
organize it however you want. LIke a folders ALMOST but a
lot cooler looking, its all chrome/silver wtih clear buttons
its iTunes. Macinstosh stuff. ARrange it in Albums, Artists,
Songs.. Singles.. Eps.. whatever!

WEll I Dunno my only adviced to you is erase the program,
search for the preferences and delete those as well, and re
install a newer version, thats all I can tell ya!

reflex 2 things:
What's the name of your program (that came with the
computer)?
How do I uninstall Windows Media Player, and once I do where
do I reinstall the latest update?

Xanatos: what I have for my computer you cant get unless
your running a MAC. Or.. MAYBE LINUX. Hmm...

But ahhh.. do a search on your computer, take EVERYTHING
that has to do with Windows Media Player and throw it away,
including the prefs. Go on the internet search for a
download and youll find is really easily. Install and there
you go.

What type of things do you want to play with your WMP?


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-08-22 02:12 [#00023819]



Music Videos, Porn.

and thanks, I'll try that.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-22 02:17 [#00023824]

windows media is great for me unless you go above like 6.4
after that it gets all fuckin' stoopid


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-22 02:37 [#00023850]



Use quicktime player for that..... geez man Windows Media
Player is horrible stuff...... its one of the worst ones,
cause it has a really really bad compression rate. Sux

I JUST got a full version of The Fast And The Furious on my
computer...... hahahaa and its not even out of the theatres
here! hahah. And yeah, I needed to use a plugin DIVX1.10db
for my Windows Media Player and it SUX ass.. but the movie
works!

I Fixed Winamp by deleting and reloading my playlist but I
can't get Window's Media Player to work!

How can I install a new copy of Windows Media Player?

or

Is there any other programs I can use to watch mpegs?
(Realplayer Crashes and Quicktime gives me sound but a white
screen)
