Windows Media Player doesn't rewind/fast forward on MPEG files?

I've got these MPG training videos, they play almost fine in Windows Media Player, I can seek with the slider bar, but the fast forward and rewind buttons are disabled.  Does WMP not support this for MPG files?  The codec WMP reports is simply "MPEG Video Decoder", and "MPEG Audio Decoder"

Fast forward and rewind DO work in QuickTime, which is the only other video player I have at work.

I have WMP version 11

Merete, when I gently drag the seek bar, nothing happens until I let go, and then it pops to the new spot.  If the movie is playing, it continues playing until I let go.  If it is paused, it stays paused, but does pop to the new location when I let go.

Also, these are files on a hard disk, not a CD nor DVD.

Anyway, thanks for the input.
Thanks JohnBPrice. Glad I was able to assist you.
