Win Media Player

[bpurser]

OK, just upgraded to XP. Reason was that ME was crashing when I plugged in the digital video camera. Got it all installed, etc..everything fine. Transferred the video, run it in the Win Movie Maker, save it, etc...all good so far.

Go to view it in WMP 9 and it crashes. Tells me I have an internal application error, then:

The instruction at 0x591c2839 referenced memory at 0x595c3f78. The memory could not be "read."

So, any thoughts?? I'm loathe to re-download WMP9 with a dial-up, but will if I have to, I suppose...

Thanks in advance for any help--

Ben

ME was never noted for its stability (I would put WinME about on equal terms w/ Win95). So I would go ahead and grab WMP9 & the updates to Movie Maker as well, should run better if for nothing else just that you're using XP instead of ME.

This is a good site for all things to do with WMP.

As far as downloads on a dialup, you could avoid that by borrowing the relevant Setup.exe from a friend. You should also be able to find both WMP 9 and Movie Maker 2 on the free CD's attached to PC Magazines.

As you have just upgraded from ME you might like to check the list in this article to make sure your system is setup correctly for XP.

Did you do a clean install of XP or was it a upgrade install from ME? The latter will have carried over a lot of ME's bad habits and might be causing your problem.

To get further information about the error look in your Event viewer.

Look in the System or Application folder. You can get to the Event Viewer via right click My Computer icon and select Manage.
