Hey buddy,

What keeps restarting? The computer?

Thanks,

How does it take over the computer?

Do you have a virus? Try doing a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials.

Have you rebooted?

Just some suggestions.

 

[mick463]

Yes i have rebooted.If i am typing anything the curser just dissapears and i am typing nothing i did a check i found on this site and it says that i have default issues.It is like i have just opened the wmp and i have to click on what i was doing to use that program again.It is like wmp is trying to be the only program that is running i dont know how to explain it very wierd.

Can you close Windows Media Player, or does it come up again?

 

[mick463]

can close it .Then it opens again less than a minut later .I did this comand msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerLibraryDiagnostic and it tells me that the media library is corrupted

 

[Jonathan_King]

The Media Library is probably not corrupted. You have a virus, I bet. Download Malwarebytes free and scan. Then install Microsoft Security Essentials.

 

[mick463]

It seems it was a virus what you said seems to have worked.Thank you for all your help it was appreciated.

 

[Jonathan_King]

No problem. Glad we could help you. Anything other questions, just ask.

hello guys,
I early install Windows xp sp2 with windows media player 11.but i have a problem.
When i try to play anything with Windows Media Player,my computer restarts.!!!!!!
I can play things with other Media Players like real or Winamp....
Any one could help me solve the problem?

Question, will this same fix work when media player starts on its own during boot up? I have Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit and whether during start up or if the computer is in sleep mode media player starts on its own.
