Hey guys, I need some computer help again, i have windows xp and i have the newest windows media player and it won't let me play some videos, and i donwloaded a lot of codecs already but it says theres some connection error when i have dsl and am always online. Another thing is that none of my P2P programs work, like Kazaa and Bearshare, even though i can browse the interenet on internet explorer but when i open the programs it just doesn't connect, and i can't download anything. and lastly Bit Torrent doesn't work, when i try to download something it says problem connecting to tracker and it won't work. I have a feeling that one problem is responsible for all this, but i don't know too much about computers, so if anyone could help me out i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

I haven't had any of those problems with WMP 10. Everything is faster and smoother. Album info download went WAY faster than normal. It now goes as fast as my connection allows, instead of how fast WMP can take it.
