Well, a K6 is the equivalent of a Penium Pro, *not* a Pentium MMX.
That could be your problem, although the software should be written to
take advantage of MMX technology, not rely on it completely.

If Xingplayer hangs when the MMX box is checked, but runs OK without
the MMX box checked, this would bear out the idea that you have a
non-MMX chip.
