I hate computers?
So, my work machine has, for no discernable reason, decided that .wmv files are evil. Any attempt to run them will result in a full and complete system freeze. The three-finger-salute wont even work. have to do a hard reboot (which, this being Win2k server, makes for a *happy* machine). And the MS site is about as helpful as ever.

This is a problem because Wetleather is sending out movie clips of the races, and I CAN'T WATCH THEM!!!!

I have had similar screwups with my Win2K machine. Every time I install Service Pack 4, the Internet stops working (no web pages or they take 15 minutes to load, telnet sessions hang immediately AFTER login is negotiated, weird shit). Anyway, I've done this twice and had to uninstall it both times.

My suggestion is to try patching the Windows Media Player, if that's what you're using. If not, or maybe in addition, try downloading the latest RealAudio Player. I think that does movies also. If you can associate the .wmv files to another program, you may be able to get around the problem.

Good luck!
