Answer 2：Hi bushcraft,

Thanks for posting to answers.microsoft.com

Is there any errors that you read about this issue in Reliability Monitor or Event viewer?

How to view information in Event Viewer - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947321

How to troubleshoot using Reliability Monitor - See STEP 5 from this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950685

Also, you could try running SFC /SCANNOW from the Command prompt.   This will check for System File Corruption.  Since WMC is loaded with Windows Vista Ultimate, it's files are included.

Here is how to run SFC /SCANNOW

Start menu > All Programs > Accessories, then right-click on the Command
Prompt > select Run as administrator > click Continue to UAC prompt and
run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc /scannow


Please let us know on this issue of any further assistance needed.
