My player is version 9.00.00.3354 and seems to be having a nervous breakdown.
It plays around 20 seconds of each track on any CD before moving on to the
next track. I can't find any setting that would cause this to happen, or any
way to stop it. Can you help?

I had a look around on windows 2000 WMP9, which should be the same
version as yours. There doesn't seem to be any preview track setting
(although you can do this using a playlist, it shouldn't affect CDs)

If you Rip the CD to your hard drive, then play the tracks back from
there, is there any change in behaviour ? That would isolate the issue
to "something about the CD or Drive"

Hi Neil

Thanks for the advice. The media player doesn't seem to be playing anything
now - no luck with the ripped tracks, and it wouldn't connect to online music
either. It seems to be getting worse - failing to recognise any source (CD
drive, my music docs etc). I think I may have to remove and then download the
player.

OK, WMP9 should reinstall cleanly over itself.

Cheers - Neil
