Hi there,
a couple of weeks ago I downloaded the updated version of Windows Media Player to my PC which runs on Win 98. However, after using it I noticed that it has a major problem playing .wmv files, either the screen freezes or the image appears blocky and pixalated, similar to when you are trying to view a poor quality recording of a DVD at home. This renders the picture virtually unviewable.
This issue did not occur on the previous version of Windows Media Player nor does it affect files such as .mpeg, only .wmv files. Does anyone know why this is happening and do they have a remedy for it? Do I require to download an appropriate codec which I don't have?
thanks in advance,
G
