If I play Fifa 07 windows media player will then not load.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Bring up the Task Manager and have look if any programs related to Fifa 07
are still running. Something like fifa07.exe or game.dat etc, try closing
them down and see if media player functions again.

Tried that, still won't open.

I have found if I rt click and tell media player to run as administrator it
then works, this is even when I am the admistrator.

To get it working without doing the above needs a Restore.

The game seems to do something to the UAC
