Re: windows media player crashes frequently

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


What happens if you simply rename the *key*?

In theory you can just generate a crash dump and open that up in Visual
Studio and look at that, but that's likely going to be difficult for you to
sort through.

If you can get me a fault bucket number here, I can probably help. Failing
that, of course, I can only really wildly guess. =)

What's the data under WMP's Help:About:Technical Support Information? That
may point out potential badness.

how do i stop JIT Debugging ??

That sounds like you installed windbg or something else which is
catching
the faults. The call stack might be illuminative. You may also want
to
turn off JIT debugging so that you can report this and get the fault
bucket
number, though.
