    Hi All,

    i have a vid that i wanna play non stop for as long as i want, i tried using windows media player and media player classic, but they stop relooping my vid after 1 to 2 hours.

    is this the software problem or my desktop's problem, im using the MSI Wind.

    Thanks in advance

    Which Media Player do you use? Do you have the latest patches? What kind of video file that you try to play?

    Windows Media Player?

    That will loop whatever is running until you change it, close the app or send the computer to sleep/hibernate or shut it down...

    Just put it in the playlist of any media player and click the 'Repeat' clicklet.

    Trouble is, according to the OP, "i tried using windows media player and media player classic, but they stop relooping my vid after 1 to 2 hours" so clearly, either there's a problem with his system, or just any media player will not, in fact, do.

    Power settings perhaps? Check to see at what point the drive spins down.

    Try it with do nothing selected for all settings while plugged in.
