This is what I'm seeing. 

Everytime I go to a page where they have some kind of video clip that is going
to bring up Windows Media Player the player is spawned and the machine locks up.
The only way I've found to regain control is to unplug the machine and plug it
back in again.

I can't give you a specific site, because if I try to duplicate it then the
machine locks up again. Try this: go to MSN and click on one of their video clips.

Here's a link you can try   http://www.ahajokes.com/funny_videos.html and then
click on one of the links to a video. Not sure if this will fail because I can't
test - if I do them machine could lock up again...
