November 15, 200421 yr I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but the link to "Watch an Interview with the MSFS Team" on the front page has frozen my puter twice. The first time it just froze and the second time I got the BSOD.Just thought I'd bring attention to this.Terry
November 16, 200421 yr Same here...no problem whatsoever. THe link brings up Windows Media Player and it plays just fine.
November 16, 200421 yr I don't know what's up but, the 1st time I tried it the Media Player came up and then my puter froze. Next time I clicked the link I got the Blue Screen Of Death. Didn't want to try it a 3rd time. I've never had anything like that happen before.Thanks for the feedback.Terry
November 16, 200421 yr There is a nasty trojan going around which hijacks media player--symptoms include a BSOD when launching media. One of the reasons why it's so nasty is users think they've deleted the trojan, and it reinstalls itself every time media player is used.One telltale sign is looking for a registry entry that auto launches media player, or any other odd programs launching...It might not be your problem, but it may be a start.-John
November 16, 200421 yr If it's not the trojan John mentioned, it could be defective RAM. I had a stick go bad a couple years ago, and starting an application like media player could trigger a crash.Also, you didn't mention your OS. Windows 2000 and XP are more resistant to software crashes, so BSOD's often indicate a driver or hardware problem.
