Hallo.
I have the exact problem like above. Win98SE+all possible updates (except GDI+USER interface, because the updates are english, but windows is hungarian...), DirectX 9.0C, IE6SP1+cumulative patches, WMP 9+updates (some DLL's 'updated' manually, because installers run only on US WIN2k/XP only, but WMP 9 works perfectly). CPU celeron 400, Abit mainborrd, Intel 440 chipset, VGA S3TRIO3D. Latest ASPI drivers from Adaptec are instaled (4.71). Unfortunately the system was infected by a trojan, but it has been deleted. I run a program TaskInfo (
www.iarsn.com), which monitors running processes and shows all treads, when BSPlayer starts up, it shows, too, but only one tread, using 100% CPU and 'hangs'. This problem affects more versions, tested with BSPlayer 1.02, 1.00 and 0.86.500. Previosly this computer had Win98 1rst edition, it was also virus (trojan) infected-disinfected, and still worked BSPlayer 0.86.500 and 1.0 (1.02 didn't exist yet). So I assume a rare BUG that only 'blocks' BSPlayer on some WIN98SE-config (or maybe on patched WIN98SE or WIN98SE with WMP9, I didn't test BSPlayer with WIN98SE w/o IE6 and WMP9, because generally I install these 'updates' immediately on a fresh WIN98SE.). I generelly run Total Commander, IE6, Getright, Advanced Disk Catalog, TaskInfo, Msn Messenger. On Win2000 and XP systems with these running programs BSPlayer works fine. I will later test those BSPlayer versions on WIN98SE with NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX 400 with actual updates...
Hopefully I could help in discussion. I'm looking for a workaround, I'm sure, there is at least one, because I ever watched films on WIN98SE with 0.86.500 and 1.0 RCx (Asus mainboard, Geforce 2 MX 400)
