i got it, but like all microsoft betas, it's way too buggy. can become quite unstable at times. :x

i got it ages ago, if it's still in beta version then it shows microsoft has a lot of things to fix!

LOL TT. I think someone needs to upgrade their computer. are you seriously running 98 still and with all those videos you download. If I must...I will build you a new computer. But...you're brave....too brave for me.

looks can be deceiving my man, especially with microsoft. it's become very frustrating but all i can do is put up with it because i can't find a decent player that i can switch between two desktops (i have a tv out and so i watch all my vids on my tv )

if anyone can suggest a better video player i would really appreciate it!

and TT; windows 98 and wmp 7!?!?! c'mon man, my mother is running better than that and she hardly knows how to use the computer!!

HAHA you could easily add at least Jabba and thamar to your "fight TT's PC club"

If I run Win98 is because I'm used to it, and WinXP has nothing I really need.. just a fancy look IMO I use the PC just to surf the net and watch vids, and it works perfectly, so why to upgrade? I have of course the WinXP install CD here with me, but never used it I also have to admit I am to scared to format the PC and install a new OS, hoping all the hardware will work again and such

But I guess one day it will happen. I could upgrade to XP when MS will release their next one

Hrm 10 seemed to run fine for me before I formatted because Windows tried to "fix" itself. The only problem I ran into was that it played all my avi files upside down .
