    Unhappy Windows Media Player 9 !!!CRASH!!!

    I recently installed WMP9 and everything crashes when I want to play a movie file (MPEG, AVI, ...).
    WMP9 freezes before it displays the movie.
    After Ctrl+Alt+Del, WMP9 closes and alle icons remain white. The system gets corrupt and I have tot reboot the system.
    I have Windows98SE, DirectX 8.1 with all recent updates installed.
    I uninstalled the whole thing and tried to install some other media viewers... same result!
    I re-installed WMP9...same crash!
    What the h... is wrong here????

    Win98 sucks , Me too . If it's crashed , it's impossible to get back to the last good condition . It's ****ing sensitive ! What do you think of installing DX9 ??

    I don't think DX9 would be a solution, not?
    I also don't want to re-install Win98 or even a "format c:".
    There should be other people too having this crash problem, or am I alone in this world...

    Why you don't install Norton ?? It might fix those errors (registery errors , system files ... etc ?

    I know Pirate, but my Win98 is still alive and I don't want to fill my hard disk with stupid XP rubbish. (almost 1Gb for a simple installation!)
    XP is very my gui style, I like it, but not on this machine where I'm having a serious trouble while viewing video files.

    Seems no other options left for you obviously unless you change your mind to (Format C: )
    luck !
