windows media player 11

This is probably driver related, possibly to an audio driver. I would check with the audio driver's manufacturer to see if there is an updated version. But without the bsod error code or your mini dump from the crash we're unable to offer great help.

What you can do to aid us is to keep your computer from automatically restarting when the crash happens.

In Vista:
Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > Advanced System Settings > Startup and Recovery Section > Settings > Uncheck "Automatically Restart" box

In XP:
Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Startup and Recovery Section > Settings > Uncheck "Automatically Restart" box

E-Mail address as the In Box will be filled with Spam. The Bots crawling the Net will pickup your E-Mail address and sell it on to anyone willing to pay for it.

Provided you got Media Player 11 from the M$ Update Web Site there shouldn't be a problem here though if you downloaded it directly from M$ you may have got the wrong version for your OS.

Start the [b]Windows Update[/b] and when you get to the page that asks you to use Express or Custom above this is a option to use M$ Update which allows you to access all M$ Updates for products that you have installed on your computer. Left Click on the Green Icon/Picture and follow the prompts. When you get returned to the Express or Custom Option select [b]Custom[/b] and then download & install what is required from there. Make sure to include any Driver Updates before applying Media Player.

Of course if this computer is part of a Corporate Domain it very well could be that Media Player is excluded by the companies IT Department to comply with any Security protocols that the company has in place of has to follow for Complianceing Matters.
