MICROSOFT MEDIA PLAYER : When a CD is played, the player downloads the disc name and titlesfor each song from a Web site licensed by Microsoft. Thatinformation is stored on a small file on each computer in the latestversion of the software.The new version released with Windows XP last fall also added thesame technology for DVD movies.Microsoft's original privacy statement informed customers that theywere downloading the information about CDs but never stated it wasbeing stored in a log file on each computer.The new statement makes clear that information is being downloadedfor both DVDs and CDs, but does not explain how users can eliminateor get into the log file."It definitely could have been clearer and more specific aboutDVDs," Caulton said.Clearing the list of songs and movie titles would cripple MediaPlayer. Stopping the program from collecting any more informationwould mean changing the software's settings, but that would disableInternet broadcasts. MICROSOFT MEDIA PLAYER : Not sure where the logfile is. The WSJ and the NY Timesdidn't know when they ran the story.I suspect the registry. That is where Media Player currentlykeeps the Most Recently Used references. Thanks for the info. I've put a lock on this post so I'll remember to do as you say when the black day of XP comes upon me. It's always pleasant to see conservatives good for something. Coping with paranoia is certainly youse guys' specialty :-)If only it was that simple ... it is the extreme, irrational distrust ofothers and the delusions of persecution and grandeur that have me beat. Glad to hear that. I'd gotten the impression conservatives weremostly in bed with Microsoft, because of the opposition to the nowmostly abandoned anti-trust suit.Also, don't overlook the Registry. Use MediaPlayer to look at orplay a suitable file. Write down the filename and extension. ThenStart->Run and type in regedit. In regedit do a find on the fileyou just played. Search for value. This will locate the area inthe registry where Most Recently Used files are kept.

Isn't there someonethat I can just talk to on the phone?Check for video card driver updates from your vendor, and/or DirectX updates from WindowsUpdate. If that doesn't work, turn down your hardware acceleration. Open WMP's View:Options menu dialog. You'll see a slider there for "Hardware acceleration". Turning this down to None often works around whatever driver bug is creating your issue (and sometimes turning it up helps too).
