Default WMP always crashing around 15min in [Win7]

This seems to only happen when I download top gear episodes and get to around 15:4x sec. Windows Media Player will just stop playing and say WMP encountered a problem.

Anyone else having any problems? I tried different episodes but it still happens so i have to watch in VLC player. VLC player doesnt seem to be as clear and when you skip to a different time the video always messes up for a couple seconds.

Sounds like you have a dll issue. run a reg cleaner and uninstall any un-needed media players.
I'd recommend just using VLC. WMP is garbage and can and will run things in the background without your knowledge (OCX is a PITA).

This goes without saying but
1. If you can't afford to lose it don't mod or OC it.
2. At least read the OP before commenting.
