Re: WMP 11 on Vista Biz x64 Appcrash

You're right that it is an annoyance that could have been handled better
by MS. but you're wrong in placing the blame entirely on MS. Music and
movie industries have been pressuring software and hardware vendors
forever to build in more and more protection so that media cannot be
copied from computer to computer, etc. I don't really view this as
something that upset me, just something I wanted to figure out as a
technical support issue for future reference. I don't buy music online
either, I just play my ripped media which I own on physical media across
a network. If you run into a new annoyance on Vista, don't just view it
as a Microsoft failure. Personally, I just store this one away as a
nugget in the back of my brain that I might be able to help someone else
out with in the future. Again, kudos to Zach, as he got me where I
wanted to be, and kept it simple.

This should fix you up though - I'm betting you just missed a folder.

Nope, no issues, I think it's very well laid out. Like you said, I must
have just missed a folder or something. This was easier than Microsoft's
KB fix which involved returning the computer to it's original
configuration again :(
