FF and Rewind greyed out in WMP

Hi

I am having a weird problem with my WMP 12 . The fast forward and the rewind buttons are greyed out and I cant find any google solution as to how I can resolve this issue. Has anybody else faced similar issues? How can it be resolveD?

Please let me know if you need any other info regarding my sys etc. I am running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. I have a Phenom X4 955 and Gigabyte 880gma ud2h.

Another problem I was facing was with lag issues in MPC but somehow that has been resolved as I switched to WMP. I was running blu ray movies. Any idea why this could have been happening? Since I am able to play the same movie in WMP I dont think it is an issue with the potential of my onboard GPU.

Thanks in advance
