Media Player

This is a discussion about Media Player in the Windows Software category; I've got a problem With my Media Player. . . . If I open a window with audio in it - eg my mp3 folder and double click then theres no problem - Media Player pops and plays the file. If - on the other hand - I try to open a file from Media Player it immidiately locks up and hangs untill I terminate it from task manager.

Does anyone have any idea how to get it working again?
 
Due to a new Hdd - This XP is a pretty new installation - I've only got MS Office XP and Dungeon Siege on here so far.

OP
I played with this for a couple of days and gave up in the end.
 
Seeing as there was hardly anything on the hdd anyway - I reinstalled Windows.

We should be in a world now where you don't need to install 3rd party applications to enjoy your favorite music/videos.

That's why I don't go anywhere but WMP.

People put it down because it's a bloated, resource hogging, pig of an application.
 
More people would like it if it *just* played media like the old 6.x versions only with playlist support.
