Awww man, you're missing out on the shitty interface and craptacular WM9 performances.

I believe vlc and Mplayer handle WM8 and below formats...WM9 remains a very proprietary MS format.

Try deleting any previous versions of WMP before the WMP9 installation. I'm pretty sure the Read Me has the details of exactly which files to delete.

It's not freezing, it is searching your hard disk. That took over an hour for me.
