kowal, First you need to uninstall all versions of your player. if your player is 1.8 you need to use 160x120 size setting for full screen. 4.02 and 4.03 although they have a setting for 160x120 they actually convert as 176x128 which is why they keep crashing they are to big.
Try installing 3.57 by using the English installer Msien.msi file instead of the Setup.exe and see if it installs.
there is a post on how to set up 3.57
HERE
Let me know how it goes.
