When i look in processes, whenever i turn my computer on wmplayer is always running, but the media player doesnt show up on screen. So whenever i double click any of my music, it plays, but i cant go to next track, stop, pause etc. Why does it load on startup and not display the window?

uhh... check if it's set to load on startup?

I checked msconfig, its not meant to...

Bump, anyone, please?

Have you tryed reinstalling it?

What version of Windows Media Player are you using, and what version of Windows?

Have you got all the required updates, etc?

I'm sure you probably done this, but I'll just make sure before digging into the registry. Have you done a complete un-install/re-install?

Check all the "Run" keys in the registry too... It's easier if you search for "RunOnce" and go up a couple of keys
