I doubt Windows will fix the problem but a programmer might at some
point ;-)

WMP on Ultimate here will continue to play music if Media Centre is open
before WMP is opened. After closing WMP I have to close MC to get the
music to stop but I don't know of a fix.

I think this problem might be related to the Media Center feature. I
don't know how to fix it, but it definitely started here after I ran
Media Center for the first time.

Media Center uses the player for some aspects of its work.

I had the same problems with Windows Media Player that everyone here has
experienced. I however the culprit it was itunes that kept this MC
active even though I had closed the application.

I hope this helps anyone who is experiencing this problem and happens
to have itunes installed.

If you have this problem after you install Service Pack 1, that would be
more interesting. There are some instances in Windows Vista pre-SP1 where
external apps can leave a bogus reference count open to the player, thus
preventing shutdown. In SP1 the player is smarter about making sure
reference counts are valid.

You should be extremely less likely to have this problem once you install
Vista SP1. Is SP1 installed to this system?

I am having the problems where the media player is not quitting AND I
am running Vista 32bit SP1. It was doing it before, and it still does
it now

If you could use the Windows Debugging Toolkit:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtoo...g/default.mspx
and capture a DMP file of the player in this state, I'd really appreciate a chance to look at that.

Thanks,
-Zach

Hi Zach,

I presume I can just create a DMP from the windows task manager by
right clicking on the wmplayer.exe process and choosing Create Dump
File. I have done this, but the file size is about 365Megs. Where can
I upload this to?

Thanks,
Jonathan
