Why the hell is every video clip I play zoomed in to the center of the image, and I can't zoom out. I've tried just about everything. Please help if you have info or have had the same problem.

i am using windows media player 9 for XP. I have a problem in streaming audio content. from some stes for eg http://biz.yahoo.com/cc/
The player is giving some error like "problems connecting to media" but the same can be played in Media player 6. I am wondering why this happens. the same case is also shown by the embeded player. I am developing a software that to stream the content using media 9 series SDK so it's an urgent to fix the problem.

So I just encoded some video in a .wmv format, but when I go to play it in Windows Media Player I get the stupid animation on the screen, so there's no video, but all the audio. Any advice? Thanks.
