In very rare circumstances, Microsoft Windows Media Player or another application that uses the Microsoft DirectShow
components may experience a first chance exception when you play a Microsoft Windows Media
file. After
you close all the first chance exception dialog boxes, Windows Media Player
closes, and the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0-based device is no longer responsive.
To recover from this condition, the device must be reset.
An uninitialized event handle in the Windows Media Source
Filter may trigger an exception. This exception may cause the application
that hosts the DirectShow components to close unexpectedly. This leaves the device in
an unstable state.
