Hi guys. I'm running XP Pro on a 2.4ghz Pentium. Plenty of memory to go round. QT files are still fine but suddenly I cannot skip forward on certain WMV and MPEG video files. By that I mean, say you are playing a 5 minute video file and want to click the bar at the bottom to the halfway point. Well, now I cannot do that. It won't move. WTF?!

This goes with the latest Winamp or Windows Media Player. However, I can use VLC on these files and skip around, though it's kind of sloppy.

Again, this is just on certain files and it is really annoying. I have no idea how to go about addressing this. HELP!

EDIT: Also, it looks like the color balance is off on all .mpg files. This is really frustrating.
