TC7.5b6 disapears when selecting Play w WMP on a file

[galanga]

Hi,
TC 7.5b6 disappears (silent crash, apparently) when on a .asf or .wmv file I open the context menu (which opens correctly) and then either select the direct menu item "Play with Windows Media Player" or "Open with... -> Windows Media Player".

It works fine with avi files, and if I rename a problematic asf file into avi file.
These context menu items work into Explorer.

Using ShellExView, the menu item seems to be this one (sorry for layout, this is the result of the Copy from ShellExView):

I assume that it's some other menu item which causes your problem, I have never heared of any problems with WMP. Try to disable all other (non-Microsoft) context menu shell extensions with ShellExView, then open the file again with "play" to check that.

Since I post the message, I have uninstalled the 7.5b6 and reinstalled 7.04a, thus I just reinstalled 7.50b6 to try what you say... and now it works fine, with all context menu items enabled.
Today I installed VLC 1.0.0, and uninstalled it right away, maybe it's linked, but even if I reinstall VLC 1.0.0 it still works fine now.
Thanks for your answer, I hope it will continue to work fine by itself.

It could have been some remainders from a previous player installation in the registry which were removed when you uninstalled VLC...
