the Microsoft web page which states You've encountered error message C00D11C6 while using Windows Media Player. We are investigating the cause of this error. We will post more information about this error when it becomes available. anyone else get this?

I have 1gig of memory and I'm not having any problem running other software..thanks

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task
Manager and click the Performance Tab. Under Commit
Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

What is your CPU processor speed? Right click on your My
Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties to get
this information and the amount of RAM memory.

How large is your hard disk and how much free disk space? In
Windows Explorer right click on your C drive and select
Properties.

Hope this helps.

* I turned off the machine last night after finding problem, turned back on this morning and had
the same problem, I note that when the error screen pops up about the memory problem it gives two
options ok or go to web site for information..when i hit ok the media player opens but is black screen and
doesn't play the avi file. if I choose open from the media players screen and open the file from there
it plays without problem.. last night I also ran a complete norton uptodate scan and ran a 'adware scan'
both came up clean..

thanks
