HI,

got windows media player 9 on an 2 x 2 Ghz power mac with
an Geforce 6800 Dll grafics card.
On progressive downloads with wmv-files the player
freezes after a while and stops to play. even if I
download the file and open it from the desktop the damn
thing freezes!?
It cant be the files since they play on a PC!

It could be an issue with the speed at which the server communicates
with WMP on the Mac for the streaming. I also experience the same thing
rather often. I suspect the base of the problem is a nasty bug in the
support of the appropriate bitrate in WMP for the actual speed of your
connection. There is not much you could do beside de-connecting and
reconnecting again and again :-(
