Media Player plays too fast

[Bob Bevan Smith]

On some (but not all) our Win2K Pro desktops, an MPEGfile
played by Windows media player v7.01.00.3055 appears to
play at about twice normal speed. The Picture does not
usually appear; instead there is a green rectangle.
Sometimes, a frame of the movie will show for a fraction
of a second.
Can anyone point me at a possible solution to this please?

would be a better choice of newsgroup.
Chances are though is that you don't have the same MPEG codecs on all your
machines.

Great - that will improve productivity! Can we all have one?
