This has been happening since the first day I installed the os and turned on the computer.
Basically, Window Media Player randomly opens which collapses all of my other open windows. No matter how many times I may close the program using all sorts of methods, it reopens again and again. Usually, I would just let it sit for about 30 mins opened and then I could close it without issue. Recently, however, it has been popping up nonstop. Even if it is minimized, it reopens itself so that I cannot to anything on my system. I am actually amazed that I have been able to type this without interruption.
I have restarted my computer and the problem has not change as of recently. It pops up on startup. I have tried removing it from the startup programs, but I can't find WMP on the list of programs. I have also tried to determine if it was a flaw with my keyboard (like a stuck ATL key or something) but there was no success either. I have also searched for a WMP reinstall, but that evidently does not exist for Vista.
Currently I am at a loss because the program has been popping up all day long and I haven't been able to do much of anything on the computer except sporadically click back and forth between WMP and the Microsoft help page. If anyone has any clue as to how to fix the problem I would be so, so, so, so, so happy.
Also, what are the consequences of simply deleting every WMP file from the C drive?
