If you are consdering a new Media Player, you might like Winamp (Free Edition). I use it primarily for music playback and VideoLAN's VLC Media Player for video playback. I tried iTunes once and was impressed by its features but it takes some time to load. Besides, I find that it slows down your computer to some extent. Try different players and see what suits you best. Hope that helps. :) -- Goku

Repair installs are safe and do not generally cause any harm unless the drive is weak and deteriorating. If you fear, that the drive may not be able to handle stressful operations, then refrain from doing a repair as it will make things worse. However, if the drive is in good working condition, then it is quite commendable to perform the repair installation. For one, it is assured that the repair install won't damage any of your data. Also, what do you mean by the second part of your post. I couldn't quite understand it. -- Goku
