WMV Crashes Computer

by c.lee . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

I have posted this question in a discussion, but I figure some of you may not venture there. In any case, my problem is that WMV files, when played back, at times will crash my computer. It does not happen all the time, but it only happens while I’m playing WMV files – sometimes after I fast forward, sometimes after I close the file, sometimes after I rewind the file.

I am using the latest version of Win XP Pro (Fresh Install w/ Service Pack 2 installed on top) and the latest version of Media Player.

Anybody have any solutions? I guess it would help if I listed my hardware. I’m using Athlon XP 2100, 896 megs RAM, 160 GB HD (EIDE 8MB Cache), 200 GB HD (EIDE 8MB Cache), 200 GB HD (EIDE 8MB Cache), Sony DVD-RW/DL Drive, Soltek SR75-DRV5 Mother Board, Creative Sound Blaster Live Platinum.

Any ideas?
