When loading Windows Media Player 9 I keep getting an error message appearing whilst loading. It reads: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. SETUP_WM caused a stack fault in module MSDMO.DLL at 0167:64bb17ac. Registers: EAX=00dc23f4 CS=0167 EIP=64bb17ac EFLGS=00010206 EBX=bfe8215b SS=016f ESP=00dc1db4 EBP=00dc21d4 ECX=00000004 DS=016f ESI=bfe8215b FS=0f47 EDX=64bb1823 ES=016f EDI=00000105 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 56 8d 45 f8 50 ff 75 0c ff 75 08 ff 15 20 10 bb Stack dump: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 I've tried removing the Windows Media Player from Add/remove programs but it doesn't make any difference. This thing is driving me mad, if any one could help I'd really appriciate it.
