I went to open an .avi in Explorer with a right click on the file name.
I had it set to target a Media Player from an outside company. It crashed.
So I set it to Windows Media Player now as the target program.
I right click on the file and:

MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ RUNTIME LIBRARY
RUNTIME ERROR! program: C:\programfiles\windows media plaer\wmplayer.exe
Abnormal Program termination

How do I fix this problem? What causes it? Windows has to recover after
one attempt to open an .avi

If the .AVI is in divX or AC3 format, you may have to install a codec pack. I
got "allinone" and I haven't found anything I can't play.
