Just did a clean install of Win2000PRo (SP4) on a new PC.
Cannot play video files such as mpegs. Windows Media
Player comes up and it starts to load the video file and
gets to a very small % loaded message.Then it just stops
loading apparently cause there isn't any file to play. No
error messages. I also noted that I cannot play ANY Yahoo
game on line although I can on my other 2 PCs. Related
problems?

Thanks
