still weird ... hard to deduce what's exactly wrong.
If you go start -> settings -> control panel -> administrative tools, open the event viewer and look into the Application logs do you see any peculiar messages concerning WMP?

I suspect it's not the media player, but corrupted media files that are causing the lock ups. Try ripping a CD to MP3 with CDex and playing that.. |

Are you playing them off the HDD or from the CD drive?
If CD drive it may be going out.

It'll probably be after she gets back from her holidays now. The Met Office (UK weather service) couldn't predict the fecking Sun rising imho, yesterday they said that today would be cloudy with sunny spells, in reality it's been pissing down all morning...so no bike ride today. Arseholes...
