Longhorn + WMP + DVD's == instability

Because of my real job, I haven't been getting to play around with Longhorn very much. Right now, I'm basically using my Longhorn box as a glorified DVD player. It works pretty well, except when it doesn't. Which seems to be rather often.

Ejecting a disc while Windows Media Player is running seems to crash WMP pretty regularly. The application does a hard freeze, and the only way I can shut it down is via Task Manager. Sometimes, it will even refuse to start up again, necessitating a reboot.

It's marginally frustrating, but I'm getting by.
