sorry about posting another topic so quickly, ive READ previous posts and searched the net for related problems but to no avail. anyway the problem is windows media player 9 FREEZES at random intervals. could be halfway thru a song, after 3 songs, or the second it loads. also when it freezes, sometimes it takes the whole computer down with it. (ex. instead of just WMP 9 freezing it freezes other applications along with it and eventually the whole computer freezes).  :-?

again any help would be greatly appreciated. Google revealed a little, about "non-standard monitors" and such. Could you try upgrading to Windows Media Player 10, and SEE if that helps? Don't know that it will, but upgrading solved a few WinMedia problems for me...im sorry i forgot to tell u im running in win98. the last i read wmp10 only works for winXP. is there any other possible solutions?How about a hint or two about your system. Now we know the operating system anyway.  compaq presario ez2207, 500mhz processor, 127mb ram, 20 gig hd, win98 nvidia geforce2 graphics CARD, soundmax integrated digital audio sound card, and a NIC network card. thats about all of it. could ne of these be conflicting with wmp9?
