Are you trying to watch DivX .AVI files or just normal ones?

I also get a "Wmplayer has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL" every time I open WMplayer. This happens only since I installed WinMe. Have you been able to resolve the problem?

I get the exact same error: "Wmplayer has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL" every time I open WMplayer.
I also have the exact same failures: freezes, reboots and power offs, ect...I even tried the system restore feature. Nothing works!
My Wmplayer/PC worked flawlessly until I downloaded a game and then had to do an "uninstall" of the game. Help!
