    Hey Guys,

    In the Last week or so my archives of MPEG files are behaving WIERD! - Only a handfull are previewing the movie itself ?!

    I realise that some files do not show previews of the content, But old files that once previewed, now just show the media player icon?

    Help!!

    Stupid question, I know, but have you tried View/thumnails from the menu?

    Alternatively, have you d/led any other video programs lately? They are known to highjack link connections.

    But All file associations are with media player

    Running Norton would be a good and quick way to restore those broken links. Use the Windoc.

    I'm using the MPEG 2 player for some file types that media player won't play...

    I uninstalled it - but the problem remained...

    I've reinstalled the player again

    Try playing the files that won't show up in the thumb and see if mediaplayer attempts to download a codec. Installing the program doesn't remove codecs i guess.
