  Hi,
  Lately I've been experiencing some problems with my Windows Media Player. Been trying to play some downloaded movies of mpeg/movie clip format. However, although the file is a full length (eg.100mb or more) it isn't able to play the full length. I tried playin wif other players and its able to.So wondering if anybody can help me with it.
  
  Thanks for your time and advice.

  Probably something went wrong with the download. I usually solve it by re-downloading.

  There has been problems with Windows Media Player lately, and patches have been released to solve the problem. Try updating the player. If it doesn't work after updating, there's always alternative players. And they work well with alternative as you said, why not switch?
