This is the third install, and a fresh install a new hard drive! I cant figure this out, but I want to play .WMV files from movie maker on my WinMedia Player (XP installed version 8 -- that froze,,, I upgraded to 9---that FROZE!)

It just plays and then freezes the entire system! And of course it doesnt do it the same all the time , I once played three in a row with NO freezes... and now cant even get past the first few seconds without FREEZING!
