Media Player

I'm not sure if this is the right place to start but here goes
I've got a Packard Bell imedia with French Vista home basic 32 bit with sp2 installed - language changed using vistalizator and all running pretty much OK (a few glitches caused by language change but manageable for now) Just been messing with Media Player and whenever i hit 'options' the message 'media player has stopped working' appears and that's the end of that session. All other functions seem OK except for 'options' (no matter which tab I access it from). I know media player 11 can't be uninstalled and version 12 isn't yet compatible so what can I do?

Can you please check and post your event log..

a bientot...

Sorry to seem like a drongo Ashvin, but how do I create an event log?

hey dude
your pc creates and log's all events whether good or bad for you :D
goto Start > right click COMPUTER > click Manage > CONTINUE this will take you to computer management Click on EVENT VIEWER this will take you to an overview to see the problem log and get help from there onwards

ok check the the event log.. follow the above to get it..
Also for how long had you been using this laptop or windows.. might tell you to run a chkdsk /r as well..

There is SO much on the event viewer that I don't know where to start, can I shortcut to 'media player' somehow or do I have to trawl through everything to find what I want?
I regularly chdsk/defrag/Tuneup Utilities scan/Regcure it so I think everything else is OK
