Re: Windows Media Player won't start
Thanks Zach.
You are correct running WMP as an administrator has no effect on my problem.
Is there a service pack coming out soon for Vista Ultimate or WMP? If so when do you think it will be available?
After aboot or recovering from hibernation WMP seems to be running in the task manager. If I attach my PDA at this time, Vista doesn’t even notice my PDA. If I end the WMP process during the time while my PDA is trying to sync then after WMP closes the PDA syncs properly and continues to stay synced as long as it’s attached. WMP stays closed during the time while it is attached, and opens and closes properly while I open and close WMP content on my computer or on the internet. Everything functions properly as long as WMP closes.
When I remove my PDA WMP starts up again as a ghost process and will not function again until I close it in the task manager. Likewise, after a boot, WMP will be running as a ghost process and if I try to run content on my computer or over the internet WMP will not start. But, if I end the process in task manager first and then run content WMP starts and ends properly.
Do you think this is something that will be fixed in the service pack or is there something else I should try? This really isn't that big a deal just a nuisance.
Thanks again,
Scott
