>you say it does not crash using -vo null? thats very very strange...
>-vo directx:noaccel or -nodr or -nodouble help any?

Oops! In fact, -vo null crashes also. None of the folllowing combinations 
worked:

-vo directx:noaccel
-nodr
-nodouble
-vo directx:noaccel -nodr
-vo directx:noaccel -nodouble

>i reccomend the gui version at http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
>altho i'm 90% sure it wont fix your problem...

It didn't...

No anti-virus. In my system tray are WinZip, MS Firewall Client, 
OpenOffice.org QuickStarter, MSN Messenger 7, QuickTime, iTunes, HP DeskJet 
3320 driver, ATI utility, SmartSync (for synchronizing computer and 
organizer - monitors COM1:).  You can download a screenshot of Task Manager

The only thing I can think of is dhahelpser.sys, which is included with the 
binary distribution of MPlayer. From the README:
"dhahelper.sys - direct hardware access under Windows Nt/2000/XP
(c) 2004 Sascha Sommer

This driver makes it possible to give direct hardware access to user mode 
apps."

I removed it and re-booted, but it didn't help.

Anyway, I will check for viruses and spyware.
