Re: Interesting / Important HotFixes
the reason they do not put fix is usually that either the error itself is rare or that the fix is as risky as the problem. They put them for the public after longer testing. Not that it does them much good anyway, given their bug count track record...

Re: Interesting / Important HotFixes
Slightly off topic but I figure this is a good place to post it considering the fix might just be an update/patch I'm not aware of.
When playing back music in WMP sometimes the computer will freeze. I can move the mouse, the keyboard lights are responsive, and for a few seconds I can minimize and open apps... but shortly after wards the system just hard locks and the HDD activity light is solidly light. I've never had it happen when doing anything else- playing a video game, watching a movie, browsing the web, etc. ONLY when listening to music with WMP. Any ideas as to why this could be? EDIT: Downloaded WinAmp to see if an alternate player would work... but absolutely hate the interface. So, I downloaded the Zune software remembering your comments regarding it in my MP3 Player thread... using it for now. I really like the software and if it works without freezing I'll never use WMP again.  Last edited by Redeemed; 02-07-10 at 10:13 PM. Reason: Update |

 as far as WMP freezing issue, it could be codec related, try removing any codec packs that you installed.

I'm looking through event viewer right now to see what I can find... this is really annoying.  I should probably just perform a fresh install; I cannot though because I have *nothing* to backup my data onto (a LOT of family pictures and videos, as well as lots of music). So I'm stuck waiting till I have enough money to purchase a larger hard drive for strictly backup purposes. This is absolutely annoying. All I'm trying to do is listen to music. Something my system is more than capable of handling. I have no add-on codecs installed, everything is "stock". I don't use any third party plug-ins, nothing of that sort. Only thing I found in the event viewers was 7 entries for this error: Quote:
