Hi

The slider doesn't work the way it does on other players. You have to put your cursor over the left-hand wheel and click and drag it upwards to fast forward. Not ideal I know.

Is this happening with all movies or just some that are stored on your hard disk? I use WinDVD 6 and occasionally the slider is ghosted with Windows Media Audio/Video files but not DVD¿s played from the DVD drive. I have a feeling that it is more to do with the rendering of the file than the player.
BTW Twisted-Rizla WinDVD 6 has a standard slider progress bar. I have never used 5, but that sounds weird!

ASF and WVM have a feature to stop you fast forwarding too

ASF and WMV are Windows Media Video codecs.

I would try removing the program in control panel > add/remove programs and then re-install. I am not sure that this will cure your problem, but it is worth a go.
