I did not see a"Standard VGA-compatible" driver. Maybe this is normal for 
XP. I cancelled the "New Hardware Detected" dialog box, and ran MPlayer, but 
it still crashed.

I had mentioned in my original post that -vo null does not crash. Also, 
remember that I have played these files successfully on other Windows 
computers. That is why I believe the problem is specific to my computer, 
when I am in Windows (which is most of the time, because I only installed 
Linux so that I could try MPlayer under Linux. X-Windows is working, but 
sound is not).

Do I need to be concerned that my CPU flags are not detected consistently? I 
configured with --disable-runtime-cpudetection.  When I run MPlayer in 
Windows, I get:

CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2

Note that ./configure detected SSE and SSE2, while MPlayer detects CPU Flags 
SSE=0 and SSE2=0.

However, in Linux, it says:
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2
which is what you would expect.

For what it's worth, the 1.07pre Win32 binaries, which are compiled with 
runtime-cpudetection enabled, also crash. However, the discrepancy exists, 
so I will point it out.
