MC 17 crashes even when I play some .wav files from the Open Media File or sometimes even when I access the Menu. I uninstalled all sound and Video programs and left only VLC. Also, I uninstalled few applications that I don't use for a while. Of course, I removed the Windows Media Player. After that I can’t even watch DVDs for the system shuts down by itself.
After cleaning the PC, the registry and running Avira Antivirus, it is still hanging after 1 or 2 tracks. CPU starts speeding up to 55-95%...
I have a pretty good system:

I checked on the Interact long time what could cause MC 17 to hang. I even installed MC 16 but have the same problems. I have a nice RME sound card, the sound is great with MC but can’t benefit of it.
When I restart MC, one of the 3 suggestions is to disable the 3rd party applications. Please tell me how I can disable these third party plug-ins. How can I determine which are these plug-ins? Is there an application that can monitor all plug-ins in the system that can also disable/uninstall them?
Thank you very much
