Shut Down

Just had a new pc and had everything copied from old pc to new pc.
When i try and play a song that was ok before, comes up with error

windows media has encountered a problem and needs to close. NO ERROR CODE OR
NOTHING.

Then proceeds to shut down.
It is the same with ITUNES AND NOKIA. Also now cannot download any new
tunes at all....
Tried a few things. Can anybody help at all???

1 faulty install of windows or WMP
2 do you really need all those players? download k-lite codec mega pack and
install it... this has fixed a lot of my 'various media issues' -i give
credit to DELL Precision's help dest for this fix

3 un install WMP and reinstall WMP 11 from the Microsoft update site

Thanks,

I have tried all of the above. I suppose i may have to take it back and have
windows reloaded back on.
At the moment i can rip music on nokia but not windows. i can then play back
on windows. It wont let me download tracks on nokia tho, comes up with error
that it may have memory corruption??
I have only downloaded other players to test and now at the conclusion that
it has nothing to do with which player i use, but it is PC related..

Anybody ever had this problem,

Cheers

It will probably help if you could post the crash details. Seeing the
error text, I assume that you're running XP? In the crash report window,
click the first link. In the window that appears, again click the first
link and copy/paste the technical details into a new post.

Regards

Again, please stop giving bad advice. Codec packs generally cause more
problems than they solve (*especially* K-Lite), and it's not considered
smart to install one.

You do realize that I had to yell at the people behind K-Lite several times
to get them to fix their badnesses that were causing something around 40-50%
of the crashes IN ENTIRETY for Windows Media Player?

Thus your suggestion is indeed more likely to cause problems than to solve
them.

If you look at Raymond Chen's blog on Explorer crashes and viruses, the
graph shown there may be fairly similar to Windows Media Player crashes and
bad third party codecs/filters.

Please be careful and judicious in your recommendations. =\
