If it's just Windows Media Player specific, I've had problems blue screening because my Firewall was blocking WMP from accessing the 'Net during an update check. If you are running a Software firewall it might be worth disabling it to see if it helps. And there you have my 2 cents worth.

Also, why would Media Player *the one that comes with XP, and Mplayer2* want to cause XP to crash on me as well? Whenever I use realone player, it's fine, but if I use media player at all, it'll crash. Should I upgrade to media player 9? I've had xp since like it came out, and everything was fine till just recently, I reformatted hoping things would be go back to normal, but nope, i'm still cursed! :P Also i've installed the sp1 update, but that doesn't seem to really have helped anything, it'll still crash on me or whatnot like it did before the sp1 update. Thx for any help anyone can give me!! _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
