I upgraded to Media Player 7.01 and now I get this stupid square
logo in the upper right corner of the picture when mpg or mpeg
files are played.

How can I get rid of it? WTF is it?

It doesn't show up with avi, asx, asf, or wmv files. I've heard
that I can upgrade to Media Player 9 even though I'm running
Windows 2000.

The squares adapt to the picture so they're visible, no matter
what the background.

try downgrading :D (dont)

what if it has to do with the file? i kind of doubt it but maybe when you downloaded a video, the user did a video capture off a tv and may have got the 9 squares:dunno: :dunno:
