First of all, hebrew does work without the new renderer (if I choose it explicitly), and does not work at all (!) with the new renderer.

Second, I found why the new player does not remember my settings (any settings!) - I use windows vista, and apparently the new player agree to save my settings only if I run it with Administrator permissions (previous versions allow my user to save settings as well) - even though I installed it from my user.

Thanks again,
