I have downloaded a couple of movies which plays in windows media player for
vista home premium perfectly, except for when you try and move the scroll bar
to move the film forward or back to different scenes it goes back the
beginning of the film everytime. If you try and press the fastforward key
next to play or rewind it just skips bacwards and forwards to the next movie
saved in the folder. If anyone could help me resolve this i would be
extremely grateful. thanks in advance

That should indicate that the files have invalid or corrupt indexes. You
would probably want to get non-corrupted versions of those files.

The Windows Media File Editor from the Windows Media Encoder package can
usually index non-corrupt files.

If it's actually corrupt, you'd want to look for ASF/WMV repair tools. I
don't typically keep track of those, sorry.
