Driver mess in Windows? Use ffdshow (http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net).
Even if you want to use the latest DivX or XviD to watch your movies, you can tell ffdshow to let the codecs play them.
In conjunction with Media Player Classic, it's perfect for any Windows machine.
I've downloaded a couple of monts ago a windows binary of mplayer. It didn't played any divx I threw at it... It just kept "saying your machine is too slow to play this file".
I agree with jkeyes and Zarhan: the best way to watch movies in Windows is through the mighty Media Payer Classic.

Software crashes just like software has bugs, that simple.
