    My only problem with WMP 10 is when I go to: "View" --> "Menu Bar Option" select "Show Menu Bar" or just press(CTRL+M) and try playing a Video file it doesnt show the Video's real Height and Width :S

    Go try it, Press CTRL+M, now play a video file and you'll see what i mean.

    Its so darn annoying and i dont know how to contact MS about this bug

    If that's your only prob, consider yourself lucky. For every aspect of what WMP does (or claim to do), there are dozens of free apps that does it better. Luckily, MS has agreed to do a WMP-less version of XP. I wouldn't waste HDD space on that app if I didn't have to, even if drives were free.

    Its not that i like WMP but i do use it to watch or listen.
    I manly use MPC and very happy with it, but its just annoying to have such a stupid bug and so easy to produce by simply showing the menu bar... OMG what was MS thinking????

    And other important thing i like about MPC and dislike very much in WMP is when you play a video big enuf to touch ur whole screen it doesnt space out over the edge of the screen like MPC(i hope some1 understand this)

    I dig Windows MediaPlayer -- when it comes to the whole "juke-box" functionality for music files that is.
    Version 10 is total crap tho.
    I recently had to reinstall XP and when it came time to do all the updates I passed on MP v10 this time and stuck with version 9.
    Like many others here, I use MediaPlayer Classic for video.

    Easy way is to uninstall it and go back to a previous version. I still use WMP2.

    I use MediaPlayer2 for AVI and MPG and MPC for everything else (WMV, RM, QT etc...) If certain files won't play then oh well, I didn't want to watch them in the first place.

    I refuse to use spyware players to view files on the internet.

    I always skip wmp 10 but this time i installed SP2 on my system so i thought now maybe bug is gone with some SP2 fixes, BUT HELL I WAS WRONG. Lucky i always backup my windows to a DVD
