    Windows Media Player (12) seems to be extremely prone to crashes and, well being unresponsive and pretty unreliable all around. Black bars all over the UI, constant freezes and crashes. Only while connected to bluetooth speakers though. It's fine with default laptop speakers. Just fine. Not sure why? Any ideas? Sometimes after it crashes, it'll tell me there's an incompatible plug-in, but when I navigate to the plug-in menu I see nothing at all - i.e. no external 3rd party plug-ins of any sort!

    Seriously annoying me now. I suspect maybe it's due to bad drivers with the Killer Wireless N-1202 card. Yes, I've got the latest versions from Clevo's website. Yes, I've uninstalled and re-installed several times. I intend to get a new laptop (non-Clevo, not because I hate my current laptop, but simply because I have the saved up enough moneys now to afford a more 'premium' brand this time around!) as soon as 900M Maxwell launches (hurry up NVIDIA!). So this Clevo will be sold on soon(ish?). In the meantime, I'd appreciate if anyone could help me with this very annoying issue! If possible, that is!

    Cheers!
