I have a problem...

I installed vista ultimate on my laptop. I have had no problems with anything but my media player. About half of the time it locks up and I have to totally shut down to do anything. I am still pretty new to computer knowledge and I didnt know if there was a simple fix or what. Could someone help? Right now I am running WMP 11.

Try running Windows Update.

Also, the problem may not be WMP 11 itself, but rather the media codec being used. You may also want to download and install updated codecs for your system.

And just for reference, the title of your posts should be indicative of the problem. For example "Windows Media Player 11 freezes" will work alot better than "I have a problem". Giving a descriptive title to your post will help you to get a reply sooner, as generic post titles are more often than not simply ignored.

We all go to start somewhere, right?

Have you tried as I suggested, and checked for Windows Updates or for new codecs?
