APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
SYMPTOMS
In very rare circumstances, Microsoft Windows Media Player or another application that uses the Microsoft DirectShow components may experience a first chance exception when you play a Microsoft Windows Media file. After you close all the first chance exception dialog boxes, Windows Media Player closes, and the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0-based device is no longer responsive. To recover from this condition, the device must be reset.
CAUSE
An uninitialized event handle in the Windows Media Source Filter may trigger an exception. This exception may cause the application that hosts the DirectShow components to close unexpectedly. This leaves the device in an unstable state.
