Did Microsoft screw something up in Media Player or something? I suddenly can't play any DVD's with it or any other player, despite having been able to do so just two days ago. Also, there's this Service Pack 2 upgrade that's taking FOREVER to download, even over hi-speed.
WTF, over? I'm here with my  and they want to watch Looney Toones and Tom & Jerry on daddy's laptop like we always do, but I can't, and I'm PISSED!  ETA: Oh, and I also have this windos download icon in my tray which I can't get rid of, but doesn't reflect the percentage of the download going on now. Let's hear it for Bill!

Are you sure it isn't the DVD player?

No, because I hear the audio, but Player refuses to show the video.
Oh, WONDERFUL! Now it's VERIFYING the download!

 What has changed since your DVD player / burner last worked? |

Heh, I installed SP2 the other day on XP... took about 2 or 3 hours it seems like. |

Must be coincidental, by my DVD player did not work right after I downloaded service pack II, I tried everything. It would read CD but not DVD’s. I tried doing a system restore, etc. Then a couple days ago it started working again. Mine would not even act like I had a dvd in there. It would say insert DVD. Works now though. Good luck with yours.

Cruizin' for a ass-kickin', ain't ya?  It's fixed now. Apparently the SP2 download and install had started while I was on dialup, and then I initiated it again when I got onto hi-speed. Once the whole thing settled itself out (and the upgrade to Media Player installed itself) it started working again. So, I reiterate: dialup SUCKS! |
