Well, my user name pretty much tells the story of why I'm here.

I bought Vista Ultimate 64 Signature Series the day it was released.

Since then, I've had to install it from scratch THREE times since the first install!

All because it develops problems that MS spends WEEKS trying to solve and winds up telling me to do a custom re-install.

I love the OS, but now I have the dreaded WMP crash problem. (crashes immediately upon starting it)

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: wmplayer.exe
Application Version: 11.0.6001.7000
Application Timestamp: 47919356
Fault Module Name: Indiv01.key

OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Additional Information 1: fd00

I fear I'm looking at yet ANOTHER re-install, because I've tried EVERYTHING possible to fix it without success.

If anyone can point me to a thread that reveals something I may have missed, I'd appreciate it.

I've done the SFC /SCANNOW and got 100% but it didn't fix the corrupted files and wrote a huge log of gobbledygook.

Yours in total frustration,

:@ :angry: :twisted:

Yup... I gave up and re-installed the OS.

Everything's perfect now.

Well there seems to be a significant problems with media player 11 with you. Did you report this problem to microsoft. If not do it they will give you a solution.

They provided 2 solutions, neither of which worked. MS support BLOWS!

The problem was serious corruption in the registry.

Re-installation was the only choice.
