Any help will be much appreciated..

Thanks a lottt in advance.. but i need my mediaplayer back badly...

Did you perform the post-Sat TV for PC fix mentioned and documented at
Microsoft?

What file version is "evr.dll" on your system? Where are any and all
"evr.dll" files located on your system?

That's a different crash caused by a DRM corruption- either
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891664/en-us
or
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#indiv
should fix you up on any indiv01.key crash in Windows Media Player.

..............

The same had happened for me, except i was more worried about Windows Movie Maker. What i did is go to the control prompt and i typed in some codes i found via post i found i think on this site. It worked for me so if you can find the commands for Window Movie Player, your in luck!

I've been trying to play videos that I've downloaded off the internet.
One day they work then the next day the exact same videos won't work.

I'd bet you have random third party codecs on this system. What are they?

Do you perhaps have an old version of nevideo.ax on this system? Where did
it come from?

hi all, this is my problem.. plz do help me!!

thanks!!

That's pretty generic data. Did you use Check for Solutions?
What third party codecs did you install? This area of code is usually a
third party codec corrupting memory.

Hello everyone.

A while ago, I got a COM SURROGATE STOPPED WORKING error. I was lucky enough to bumpp into a forum post that was very helpful. Unfortunately I no longer have the url. But I got rid of the COM SURROGATE error. And last week I encountered the WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER STOPPED WORKING error. And also WINAMP STOPPED WORKING.
So, the soluiton is to add the exe files to the Data Prevention....
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open System
3. Open Advanced System Settings in the left hand list
4. On the Advanced tab, select Settings button against the Performance section
5. Open the Data Execution Prevention tab and there ADD the erroring executable file. Be sure to look in the correct folders.

And repeat these steps whenever you get the ### STOPPED WORKING error.

I hope I managed to add the attachment with some screenshots for ease of use.

Good luck!
