This in reply to my own bug reported in the OP:

I get this message about 2 minutes after attempting to open a mp3 file:

Yep, that happened to me sometimes, but only when opening some .avi files, i didn`t have any problems with .mp3s

I can find a number of issues and problems in this thread. All of them have causes and solutions.

I cannot find a bug.

Not really sure if I am just lucky, or have a great machine. I read about all the "BUGS" people have, and yet they have not materialized on my system; "Knot on wood."

You all assume these are bugs....

How do you know?

The only thing I see out of those two is simply having to wait for the first item on messenger to finish before being able to do anything in the WLM account like read a new mail or reply to one, start a new one, etc. there.

As far as WMP12 I found that an improvement over WMP 11 when tried on XP while a few problems were seen on one Vista installation now long back in late '08.

Bugs? Not at all! Those were simply annoyances not bugs in the WLM or WMP while the WLM is still not the final version.

Barman58 made an excellent point earlier about submitting anything definite with the MS feedback option or logging onto the blog page to provide feedback there.

This is not an issue I have heard of before but I would check any additional entries you have added to the context menu as one of these could be causing the issue

Oh Many I have right click context menu entries but it not crashing outside this folder and why specifically only in this folder and to name a few context menu entries I have-

1) UniExtract
2)Winrar
3)Avast
4)File2Folder
5)Eraser
6)Better File Renamer
7)Unlocker
8)CDCheck and may be more

All these programs have created right click context menu entries and they all reside in peace.

I would still suspect an addon as the cause of this due to the special nature of the system32 folder and the particular set of NTFS permissions and system protections applied there.

You may want to try the right click in safe mode (without addons) to see if it is reproducible.

For diagnosing this type of issue I have found the Autoruns ulility from Microsoft Sysinternals to be invaluable as it allows you to disable the right click addons interactively (with this type of diagnosis I would recommend a re-boot between each change).

Autoruns can be downloaded here ....

Which moves the focus to the context menu - like a laser beam.
