CURSE YOU Windows Media Player

DuceyKins · 09-01-2010 08:47 AM

Having an issue that started on the wifes system, she boots up and everything runs fine until we start playing CoH and then it happens... Windows Media Player pops up and won't close!!! click close, it just pops back up and keeps recylcling (as in closes then opens then closes ect) thus not allowing you to do much more than scream and make obscene gestures. I would LOL at my wifes misfortune and boast on how much more superior my machine was and so forth untill recently when I now am experiencing the same problem. Here is the basic setup I have running on the machine.

I should also add that I have tried stopping the service via msconfig

That's odd. Never heard of that. Almost sounds like a torjan or spy-/adware. They like to do things like that...

I'd say scan for both, and also uninstall WMP.

i've never had this happen either. what anti-virus are you running? if it is nortons or macafee, get rid of them and get yourself avast or avg. start with one machine first. make sure to unlpug the other from the router also. many viruses can get to both comps through the router even if only one originally got it. if you can not get it to stop, you may have to do a fresh install of the operating system.
