sudden problem playing windows media file
Posted by natch on October 4th, 2004


Strangest thing - I have a few windows media files (video) which all
of sudden won't play. They had played before. Each file is about 6
megs. When I open it the slide (that shows the progress of the video
beginning to end) jumps all the way to the right/end. It is as if it
played in a millsecond and is over. I try to drag it back but it won't
go to the left. I tried upgrading my windows media player, and
discovered there is a new version which I upgraded it to and it still
wont work. I brought the files to my job and the same exact thing
happens there (previous version of windows media player). Funny thing
there, just like home, it only does this with certain files, which I
have played before, and not others.
I try to open it with real player, same thing.

WTF?
