I click on WMP, and it says a new version is available. It went through the steps of downloading 10, and then after it "seemingly" installs, I still get that "An Internal Application Error has Occurred." This is really pissing me off!

I have been typing in the error message on Google, and some pages said the same thing you did, typing in those two things, and going to the Registry, etc. I have tried all of these and nothing works. I HATE MICROSOFT!

WMP is hard to fix when it goes bad. Actually each version of WMP is worse then the last version. I would just start using a good 3rd party Media player, the advantage is they are easy to fix if they have a problem, and they don't have all the Digital Rights Management that has turned WMP into the music Police when it works. I have been using WinAmp for many Computer Years, and it is simple easy to use, and lots of internet Support sites.

I may just have to do just that. I found something on the Microsoft website that deals with the issue I am having, and if that doesn't work, I will try another music player. I hate Microsoft products, anyway. On Friday, March 17, 2006 at 12:06 pm, Steve wrote: >May just have to live with it. WMP is hard to fix when it goes bad.

WinAmp can be re skinned with many different fun skins, found online. I enjoy Internet radio when Web surfing, and WinAmp has Hundreds of Web radio Stations found in it's Library. I always had weird Buffering problems with Windows Media Player when listening to Internet radio, but for some reason no problems with WinAmp. WinAmp will also play a wider selection of Music formats, like ogg, and all the new lossless formats, which WMP won't touch. All software can go bad, and WinAmp can be reinstalled in about 2 minutes if a problem ever arises. If you get WMP fixed, just save it for the Occasional Video Stream that will only open with WMP. That is what WMP is really for. WMP is just not durable enough for heavy everyday Media use.
