Re: WMP 11 Bug


Do you get the chance to send up a crash report to Microsoft?

Given that this is isolated out to video playback, that sounds like a
problem in your video card driver.

For the most part WMP 11 serves the same purpose that the other versions
did
and thats playing video files (for me that is). I'm running this in
Windows
Vista Business 64-bit. I'd be more than happy to report an issue with
this
play to Microsoft, but apparently they don't care what I have to say since
30
minutes of online searching has gotten me no closer to a bug reporting
website.

The error happens most often when a video file is done playing and I close
the player. Immediately after closing the player I receive a pop-up
saying
that "Windows Media Player has stopped working". The problem event name
is
always APPCRASH. The latest exception code is c0000374 with an exception
offset of 000aa0fb.

It's pretty sad when a company decides they like the weather on Olympus
and
moves themselves far out of reach of the people who use their products.
From
what I've seen in my searches it seems the focus is on low level support
for
the average Joe and troubleshooting that goes nowhere. Not once has the
"Check Online for a Solution and Close the Program" button yielded any
results for anything that has gone wrong for me in Vista.

Am I experiencing a lemon or is this a common bug occurence. If it is a
lemon...can I get a pc software lemon law please.
