I have just freshly reinstalled my Win2K system.

And here it goes: I installed ffdshow, and now each time
I try to play any avi file, it would appear it plays, but
the view is freezed. I mean, I get first frame, and thats it.
It plays further but the view wont update. If I move player
window, or switch to other app and back, the view updates to
current frame, but stays there...


Why :( W2k + Sp3 + wmp6.4 (same with 9) + dx8.1 + ffdshow0923 (same with 0617).

Why......:(

Take hardware acceleration down a notch (or two).

In WMP 6.4, View menu -> Options -> Hardware acceleration slider control.

Actually I solved the problem next minute I posted this. It was W2K builtin NVIDIA RIVA TNT drivers who did that. So I installed v28.32 from nvidia itself, and now it works as it used to :)
