I have a similar issue. 2 virtually identical PCs. When I try to run a WMV
file on one, it plays at warp speed, and using the play speed control only
slows it to half-warp speed. On the other machine, it just plays perfectly.
Sorry - I know this doesn't help Ralph, but I thought I'd piggy back on your
question.
What's up with this????
