WMP - just reloads each time I close it down

MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it down I have recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player. It will
automatically start and when I close it, it just restarts. This is quite
annoying and is also interferring with all my other programs. I have
struggled to uninstall it and thought I had it (took forever because the
program was constantly running) but it is still there. HELP!

MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it down Hi Hector's Mom,

I would have to think that something is causing it to launch as Media
Player doesn't have "automatic relaunch code".

A thought: Do you have a keyboard that has a multimedia button? If
something is pressing this button down, or it's stuck down, that will keep
relaunching Media Player.

MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it down i also have the same problem when you stop the mediaplayer it just runs in

type of button any help?
also many people have the same problem with wmp11

MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it down Media Player doesn't just launch by itself, something has to be launching the
program.

Does it just come up or does it launch and play something?

Have you installed any new software? What's in your system tray down by the
clock?

What about a virus scan? Malware scans too? Perhaps a webbrowser "helper"
that's doing this? Helpers aren't always helpful.

MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it down Well, none of the items you spoke of were the cause of my issue. I do
appreciate your help but I had to go back to "factory load" and reinstall all
my purchased software. That worked!

MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it down Sorry you took that drastic measure to resolve it.

I didn't hear back from you on my original question to you so we're not
going to be able to figure out what was causing the issue on your computer.
It's best to always rule out the obvious possibility. For this scenario, that
obvious possibility is a multimedia button on the keyboard being pressed.

If you had come back and answered no, then I would have asked the questions
I asked of Don.

Don's message actually told me that he didn't have a keyboard with a
multimedia buttons (probably after reading my post to you). That's why I
asked the next set of questions.
