Windows Media Player 11/Media Center Player plays too fast

I have XP Media Center. Both media players (MP 11 & Media Center) have a
recurring tendency to play videos 2-3 times faster than normal. After 1-2
restarts of the computer, it often returns to normal, but doesn't last long.
Very soon both players start playing videos way too fast. There is also no
audio when this happens. Adjusting the Hardware Acceleration tab does
nothing. What is going on? How do I fix this problem so it doesn't happen
anymore? Very frustrating!

Did you manage to solve this error - I have exactly the same error
with the slight exception that my computer does not fix on a restart.

It is definitely very frustrating!

No. Another forum suggested my computer might have "a bad mix of codecs and
video source" and I should try using a video decoder check utility from the
Microsoft website. I did, but the one MPEG file listed in the check came
back as ok and when I clicked on the "Check for Update..." button, but it
took me to a website wanting to sell some DVD software. I have no idea what
to do, so I welcome any suggestions.

After uninstalling several programs I thought were not needed WMP woul
only play fast and without sound. I tried installing codecs and sever
other ideas I googled but, this is what worked for me.
