This is on my work computer and it actually worked friday afternoon and
stopped working right before I left for the day. The last thing I played on
it was some trans siberian orchestra from the official site. I am running
windows 2000 professional.

When I click on a media link that would normally open the wmp, it
does--however, it instantly closes. No error message is displayed, it just
closes. The same thing occurs with embedded wm files on websites. I will go
to the site and the browser window will close. No error message.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the player. I can't really find
anything in troubleshooting because there is no error code, it just closes.

Any idea?

I don't really know what I did, but for a few minutes I was able to use
windows media player again but now it's doing the same thing.

However, the last time it closed my browser it did present an windows
application error message, one that said:

The exception Breakpoint
A breakpoint has been reached
(0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x77f9193c.

Click on OK to terminate the program

If you download the file and play it, does it work then?

What version of IE are you using?
