1. Windows 8 update (Thu morning) 2. Low battery shutdown 3. get_player = 0xc0000142 error 4. reinstalled get_player -> same error 5. System Restore to before update -> same error 6. sfc/scannow & C: scan -> "Corrupt files successfully repaired." -> get_iplayer goes through BBC cache then exits. 7. uninstalled get_player 8. reboot 9. Windows 8 update (same as before, which I'd rolled back with System Restore) 10. reinstalled get_player -> 0xc0000142 error
