What does this error message mean?

[wutang01]

For some reason, today's been a bad day for me ... I have another problem. I get this error message thing (see attached picture) and I don't know what to do.

Why isn't it "responding"? Shouldn't be a problem ... i have 1GB of RAM!!

What do I do? :whistle:

PS: When I click Switch To or Retry ... nothing happens ... the exact same message keeps bothering me again :pinch:

Does it happen w/all songs/videos, or just one in particular?

I've seen that same message with the program Ultimate Bet as well.

could it be that WMP is freezing cause of a corrupt mp3/mpg file or a system file? Tried re-installing WMP? How abt trying out a system restore point....

[wutang01]

WMP10 keeps stuffing up everytime I try to play a song, or watch a video ...

Why would WMP illicit a Server Busy dialog box when you play local media..... and the dialog box itself looks dodgy. Check any plugins, scan for the usual spyware/adware etc, and try uninstalling WMP10 (if you have the option) and reinstalling it.

The dialog box looks dodgy cause I just did a "Prt Scr" then pasted it into Microsoft Paint ... not great quality lol

I'll try reinstalling it now ...

PS: What version is WMP10 on?

Please don't post about things you know NOTHING about. It has nothing to do with internet client/server stuff.

This error isnt specific to WMP but I don't think its from any malware.

Ad-Aware, Microsoft Anti-Spyware and Xoftspy scans said my computer is clean ...

It's part of windows, I've seen it once in a while when an app freezes

Ok, I ticked the "Automatically detect settings" check box. Let's see if that message comes up again :D

Thanks a lot guys ... now I'll just have to wait ...
