I switched back to windows meadia player 6.4 because 7.1 always crashes explorer and I was poking around and found this, a cool EQ !!

I guess its only good for IE

Oh ya dont forget the codecs, the player dont have to match.

I know that... other filters will give you different property pages.

Another thing to try - a tiny Media Player built into Windows itself -

Start -> Run, run

RUNDLL c:\windows\system\amovie.ocx,RunDll

You'll get a file->open dialog, pick a media file, and start playing. For easier use, create a shortcut with that command line.

I can play 5 AVIs at a time with these, and CPU usage still stays below 50%. One WMP already takes more than that!

Try also this freeware DirectShow ActiveX control [real time audio compression/settings tweaker] which works with all WMP editions, compatible with all 9x + NTx OSes:

Requires WMP 6.4 or newer.

Requires DirectX 7 or newer.

just what my mpc needs a equalizer.

-EXCELLENT, MDGx! Exactly what I've always wanted/needed for 6.4 (MPC) !

{...again bowing/scraping to your computer Supremacy...}

Glad you like it.

Another graphic EQ called "Analyzer '99" [freeware] is available at 1 of these URLs [slydiman's web site in English]:

http://slydiman.da.ru/eng/

These are located in Russia, so if you are in North, South America or Australia, might take a while for those web pages to load.

You are looking for "Sound System '99":

Hope this helps.

In past years when Media Player x.x has gotten hosed and defied all attempts at a repair,

I've installed WinAmp and solved the problem.

WinAmp comes in three strengths. Each one requires more system resources to run than the lesser one.

WinAmp Lite should run on just about any 'puter running 98 or better.

I know it can be downloaded from sites on the internet.

Good Luck,

Andromeda

Please keep in mind that WinAmp, same as all other similar media players use DirectShow + NetShow APIs [DLLs + OCX Controls] which are installed partly by DirectX 7/8/9 and partly by WMP 6/7/8/9/10.

Therefore, if one wants to use a 3rd party player, DX + WMP must be already installed.

Hope this helps.
