I frequently watch news videos at MSNBC. A few weeks ago, they
changed the format. In order to watch their clips, you need a net.passport
account (or whatever it's called), and you must download WMP 9. I was
somewhat leary of the .net account, but since I enjoy watching those videos,
I went ahead and registered/installed what they wanted me to.

WMP 9 works okay, although there are a few glitches watching the
videos at MSNBC. The MSN video is in beta format, hence the minor problems.

Anyone installed the MS Media Player 9 yet? If so any problems? I like
to
watch some news clips on MSNBC, but can't play any unless I DL and
install
media player 9. :-( Oh BTW it also says I need a MS .Net Passport to
use
MSN Video! System is running okay and I don't want to shoot myself in
the
old CPU! Thanks

I use it with windows ME and it will not play MP43 files and Mircosoft
no longer has a codec for that mode.
