Windows media player problem

Hi ... I’m using xp pro with windows media player , My problem is when I try to play a video it doesn’t show on the screen correctly , its vertically distorted , everything else seem to be working okay , Can someone please help ? Thanks

Upgrade to Media Player 10. That’s the only fix I’ve seen work.

when i download a movie i get 2 copies of the same movie
when i delete one of them they both erase i try again same results movie plays alright. but again same results.
thank you
