the same message is there any other things I could do

Hi !

I have exactly the same problem. It was not the case at the beginning but
probably installing another software on my PC something clashed it. I have
re-installed Windows Vista but yet I still go the same problem. Kindly help !

Hi, Vania.

What "same problem"? What "another software"? What video card? What "same

I have a similar problem. I start WMC and when I go into my videos it halts
WMC then shuts it down. I can view pictures and listen to my music. It is
only when I go to the videos.
