Guest JMA Report post Posted November 4, 2005 I've been having problems with trying to play a video file with Windows Media Player. I have Windows XP and the latest Windows Media Player. When I play the file I get a message saying "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to shut down." I know nothing is wrong with the file itself so I must be missing something. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Leelee Report post Posted November 4, 2005 Because WMP sucks. Download this, it will run anything: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted November 4, 2005 I downloaded the VLC player and the file finally works. I appreciate all the help (from both of you). Thanks a bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
