WMP Crashes

Running Windows XP Pro
WMP Version 11.

Windows Media Player crashes when I try to play all types of videos. And I
do mean all file extensions that are for videos (wmd, aif, mpeg, mpg,
avi..... ect....).

Most of the time, I send the report to MS but we know that does nothing. I
converted the report to a PDF file but I don't think I can attach it to this
post. If I can, then I will.... let me know.

I can't do a rollback, I can't uninstall it. I've reinstalled it but have
the same issues. I've tried decoder but that never helped either so I
uninstalled them too.

Lots to read and did a lot of it.
Seems like lots of people have similar issues but not to many fixes. Some
that I read had to do with a conflict of another player installed, but I
don't have that issue. Lots of people having streaming issues too. I don't
have that issue either. I can watch videos using the browser. Its when
Media Player 11 (URGE) is running that I can't play videos (of any type).

An update to this issue. It seems to be a video card problem. I change the
card and don't have the problem anymore.

Thanks anyway
