I can not close Windows Media Player 9 no matter what I do!

I've tried clicking the 'X', going to 'File ---> Exit' and using 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' but WMP9 will always stay open, no matter what I try. Has anybody else had this problem? It disappears from the screen and taskbar, but it's still working on the computer, slowing everything down and sucking up processing power and trying to keep accessing sites.

I would go back to using Windows Media Player 6.4
The BEST WMP out there. Totally no-nonsense media player :p

Yeah...Once in a blue moon this happens with a program or something, and I just restart and poof, it's gone!

Press CTRL, ALT + DEL, but instead of clicking 'end process', right clickit and press 'go to process', then end that.

Sucks for you to even use the bloated POS.

WMP 9 has some weird side effects. For example when I upgraded to WMP9, I could no longer use Easy CD Creator 5. M$ is aware of that problem. I had to downgrade to Easy CD Creator 4.

Also, whenever I play a video using the xvid codec and then close WMP9, it will not open again (gives me an error message). In order for me to use WMP, I have to reboot my comp.

See, WMP9 DOES have some uses

Remember kids, avoid EZ CD Creator

It could be worse.. He could use HP MyCD.. like me...

My burner came with Nero

I have multiple copies of Nero, from various burners.

If I get a new burner etc to install in work. I can take the software etc that comes with it. Same with all other hardware. Pretty sweet.

I got nero, but it was made for creative drives only, which sucks..

It's the full version of Nero, it just has the creative-only serial on it.

It's the word censor. Gotta be the best word replacement I've ever seen. Speaking of which, would some change some of the words to something better. Bullshit ---> Bovine Excriment

I tend to just use WinDVD for all video files and then Winamp 2 for audio, but my sister insists on using Windows Media Player because she's gradually got used to it after me being a lazy arse and not downloading Winamp for the first few months since we had a new PC
