Question

While doing a search for reasons why my Media Player 7.1 was dropping its connection, I found this thread.

Question is, which would be the better(safer/easier) fix?

Would it be better to rid MP 7.1 and then dload 6.4 as stated as 'method one', or?

Or ask "abogiant" how could I "change bandwidth dword values in registry?

I run 98se by the by.

TIA
jef

abogiant, thanks I'll check it out now.

I'm used to the bells, whistles and look of 7.1 compared to 6.4.

luck and wishes for "03"
