RESPONDENT: Peter, unfortunately that link’s content doesn’t work for me. I have win player 10, Win XP, 2.40GB, but it won’t play, worse computer crashes and reboots. It has occurred thrice already.

PETER: As you may have noticed we also provided a link to the MS website which gives minimum system requirements for playing HDV in WMP9/10. Given that your computer system appears to be powerful enough on the face of it, I cannot help you further as I am by no means a computer technician, nor do I plan to learn to be one.

As a suggestion, maybe someone more qualified and more local to where you live may be able to help you out with your problem.

RESPONDENT: Would appreciate if you could offer something simpler than this as an alternative.

PETER: I have had from time to time similar requests made to me with regard to my architectural work, most noticeably from those who are shopping around for the cheapest price, regardless of quality. Nowadays I have a stock standard response – ‘you will always find someone cheaper than me who is willing to do work to a lesser standard, but I like to do good quality work’. Having spent years in the trade and gained all the experience I have gained it would be silly of me to do otherwise.

In this particular case, the only reason I was attracted to buy the necessary hardware and software and go to the effort of learning a whole new technology was the possibility of producing something of good quality – if you want an inferior quality to that which is on offer, I can only suggest you look elsewhere.
