Windows Media Player causes Explorer to crash

I really like Windows Media Player and used to use it a LOT to listen to
music in my office. But since I went up to Windows MP10, it causes Explorer
to crash. It used to be just once in a while, but the last 5x I've used it,
Windows has crashed within 20 mins of using it each time. Sometimes, it will
just restart Explorer, and other times I have to do a full unplug the power
cord to get it to re-boot. And if I just do the restart Explorer, within 3
mins it will crash again until I do re-boot. I've taken off ALL DRM
protected files in case it was a plug-in problem(deleted from the library and
Hard Disk), but that seems to only increased the problem.
 
P.S. No, Explorer doesn't crash when anything else is running and I've also
turned off all non-essential programs from the system tray, so that nothing
else is running. It is definitely WMP10 that is causing the crash as it ONLY
crashes when WMP10 is running.
