zero all data on your hard drive. that should do it.

You have to manually remove everything from your library list every time, then remove it from the deleted items section.<Nelson> Ha ha! </Nelson> mplayer2.exe is still there (Windows Media Player 6.x) so I use it. Takes much less time to start, and it lets me tweak the settings on some of the video codecs (Like MPEG-4 and DivX) ------------------

The trick is not to use windows media for anything...------------------

i really hate WMP because you cant fast-forward through .ASF movies.
thats why i use Global DiVX. plays all your favorite mpeg, avi, asf, and divx movies!------------------

Upgrade to WMP8 :-)That version r0x0rz.

the reason for using wmp is that i have a gfx need, wich almost requires me to use wmp7 and it's skins  but as u've said, I also like the speed and functionallity in wmp6.4 ------------------

I have WMP 8. It's really much nicer than 7, though I never tried 7.1. I can play DVDs  Hey, does anybody know something I can use to play a 6 hour long mp2 file with a corrupt header? I found one thing that played the first 80 minutes of it...

A commercial software or hardware DVD player perhaps?I've found the player for my hardware decoder is pretty good with some corrupt files. ------------------

How would I accomplish that, Observer? Should I burn it onto a CD? I'd put it in my DVD player, except that it seems to have died. I do have a DVD in my computer and laptop though. Should I be burning in CDFS? I just don't know exactly what to do.  It's somewhat important I hear it because it's audio of an idiot being fired that I had to be out of the room for

Can't talk too much about it, really. He owns 37\% of the company, but is grossly incompetant. My buddy and I had to be there to prove it for the first 5 hours, then the fun began when we were asked to leave.

I downloaded the wmp7.1 yesterday so i cant understand why i didnt get the latest version from m$.com
Posted by acidfire on Aug. 28 2001,08:27
Ok, since i can't find more than version 7.1 of wmp and v8 of wma i ask you to please give me a download url for the wmp8.

Oh! When you said it was a "mp2" file, I figured you meant a MPEG-2 video file. Mp2 is also used as an extension for MPEG-1 Layer-2 audio files, which Winamp can handle quite nicely. Have you tried it with Winamp?------------------

wmp8 comes with windows XP.heaves, check out sourceforge.net. a lot of the open-source players focus on being able to play bad files, and a lot have win32 versions.
