Advertisement (Why?)

When you copy music media files between Microsoft Windows Media Player and a supported portable device, copy operations may take longer to perform as more items are added to the Media Library. Specifically, the time to copy increases exponentially as the number of items in the Media Library increases.

Get a grip.

It's a performance enhancing fix, ain't got nothing to do with security.

Well actually xStainDX is right. This has been on WindowsUpdate for somewhere around 3 weeks now.

#5.3 configure on 16 May 2004 - 01:57

Perhaps that's the date for the 9x patch, but I could be wrong.. The original KB article have been released awhile ago :/

#5.4 WasteXTC on 16 May 2004 - 03:48

Indeed, it's old. I've had this patch for weeks now myself.

just to confuse everyone i went back in time and posted this in bpn sbp&u... here

#8.1 mipra on 19 May 2004 - 04:39

thanks for the update..

What's new is the 988 SE/ME patch. The KB only links directly to newer OS updates, which are not new and have not changed since originally posted in late April. Neowin has the link to the new patch published 5-14-04 for older OS's (still old binaries though).

why isnt this in windows update?

#10.1 war on 18 May 2004 - 04:22

It probally will be soon.

#10.2 mipra on 19 May 2004 - 04:40

It is now...

(1 reply) #11 war on 18 May 2004 - 04:22

Windows Media Player 3409 is newer and does not need this patch.

"This update can only be applied to Windows Media Player 9. If you have Windows Media Player 9 installed but still see this message, your version already includes this update."

Obviously since 3409 is Windows Media Player 10 Beta.

Just thought I would mention that.

Take Care,
Will

WMP 10 is nothing than disaster.....
