      Media applets crashes IE 7 on Vista using the latest FX runtime 1.0.1-b93+
      This issue appears to be very specific to Windows Vista(sp1)/ IE 7 and the browser crashed only occured when running in the old Java Plugin mode.

      Tested OS: Windows Vista -business(sp1)
      Browser: IE 7
      FX runtime: 1.0.1-b93+
      jre: 6u10 , 6u11
      The crash is a regression in 1.0.1 and only with IE 7 (using the old plugin). Under the same test condition, it works fine in 1.0-fcs

      Steps to reproduce:

      1) Install 6u10 (or 6u11) onto the test system
      2) Configure Java plugin to use the old Java plugin (from the Java control panel)
      3) On Vista, using IE 7 to launch the following wmv mediatest applet

      If you see "Internet Explorer has stopped working" and crashed then the problem is reproducible. An example of crashed screenshot attached.

      Note: In step#2, if you configure Java plugin to use the new plugin, then the applet loads fine.
      The issue can be reproducible always with any media applet on Vista
