It's pretty funny. Another thing i suspected to cause the problem was my codec. I use ffddshow and thought that compatibility issues were still lingering. I tried Winamp and everything worked beautifully until i switched it from "Classic" view to "Modern" view where I can see a progress bar on the movie I'm watching. So, when i couldn't see the progress bar on winamp because of the mode it was in, it didn't crash. Yet it crashed when a prgoress bar was available. WTF?
