G'day guys.
I always receive an error message saying "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." blah blah.
I'm using windows XP, it happens every time I open just the player itself, as well as when I open anything that is related to wmv. E.g. movies and songs.

Here's some things that might help.
Error Signature
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: 11.0.5721.5145 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.3119 Offset: 00012a7b

So yeah... been stressing over this for the past couple of days. Would appreciate help. Also I'm pretty average with computers so please explain "how to" resolve, if there is a solution.
Thank-you
