When it starts up you get two options, Mediaplayer-35 and PC-Network.
Selecting Mediaplayer-35 allows you to browse files on the hard disk that is inside the media player itself.
Having selected this you can then choose music, movie, photo then choose an appropriate file from the hard disk.
Have you tried all three media types? Do they all cause the player to freeze? Have you tried media files that worked fine before and now cause the freeze?
If so it could be a problem with the hard disk in the media player. You could try connecting to a PC via the USB connector, try and play the files on your PC from the mediaplayer via USB.
You could try backing up all your media files onto your PC and then reformat the disk in the mediaplayer. Then copy your files back to the media player and try again.
If this doesn't cure it you can try a firmware upgrade.
You can get the firmware from

Just unzip the file, copy to your mediaplayer hard disk and attempt to "play" it in movie mode. Note there is always a small risk when upgrading firmware on anything. I can't be responsible if it goes wrong.
Is it actually older than 2 years, as they come with a 2 year warranty.
