If you are patient I can farm the problem out to Software Engineering students at ANU but there is unlikely to be an answer before tomorrow. They will probably just ask why you are using WMP.

Clearly the problem is in the CPU.... there is nothing in the code that could cause even the slightest error....... but that doesn't mean that perfect code will give perfect results...let me take you back down memory lane.... we had a 1401 and it was working purrfectly..... we ran the same job twice and we got very different results..... bad situation; we all believed that software ALWAYS behaved the same way each time it was run.... SO if you got different results ....... it was a HARDWARE problem......... but then we discovered that software is time and date sensitive.... which invalidated our rule that it always would produce the same results...... since then (about 1969) there has been a seemingly endless series of technological failures which are all attributable to the blurring of the boundary between hardware and software... the result is that no one has the slightest fcuking clue where to look when the system breaks........ stiff S**T for the astronauts, even if they did make it back last night

Firefox doesnt seem to enjoy much embedded vid content. I was having issues watching some Drift vids from the US the other night. Same deal, just a black screen.

Umm, they asked why are you using WMP? Anyway, no-one spotted any obvious problem with the code so one is lead to the conclusion that one or the other of Microsoft and mozilla.org (Firefox) does not play nicely with the other. Anyone want to have a guess?

You will never have ANY errors on your PC after that.
