Unusual, but possible

Hello, everyone!

I'm designing a program that embeds three WMP controls to read video files
from an ftp (LINUX) server (local network). All the three video files should
be running at the same time for comparison.

The system is supposed to work under Windows XP OS.
The language is Visual Basic 6.0.

The problem:

When the system tries to read moderate file size (more than 5 minutes of
video) , the system crashes and Windows XP closes the program. For small
videos it's OK.

Any suggestion?

What happens if you first copy the videos to the local machine before
playing? I built an application some time ago that used up to 9 WMP's at a
time without problems. All of the video clips were run in a loop but were
short typically < 30 Sec. See what happens when the network and fileserver
are out of the loop.
