I hate to go through a new install to fix this, I have
tried just reinstalling the player itself but it seems to
just reuse the old files on the HD can't get it to install
the new files from the CD for some reason. Is there some
way to force WMP to reinstall from the CD, or some way
just to reinall the .wmv file codecs cause thats the only
file format that WMP keeps erroring over.

Its the shutdown WMP error and asks if you want to send
the error report to Microsoft.

Please review the event viewer application and system messages
to see if there is anything more specific.

ok i have the same problem... it is not problem with WMP but windows media
codec that WMP uses (base window codec), cos it is not working streaming wmv
and this affect everything that use wmv like games...

players with their own codec like winamp or mediasource play wmv normaly...
mplayer2.exe (older WMP in the samy dir as wmplayer.exe) play wmv normaly...

if you have WMP10 try to uninstall it and erase all files connected with WMP
like folder in Program files and users apllication data ...

if you have 9 thats is problem.... this is only WMP 10 problem so ....

if this not help sry cant help you.... :(

specifics of error for someone else:

1, open wmv file....
2, error from WMP
3, details:
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer:10.0.0.3646 ModName:unknow
ModVer:0.0.0.0 Offset: 89e99140
4, close and f**** microsoft :)
 
You can download a "mega" pack of most codecs and rre-install them. This
normally fixes most "play-back" problems.
