There are many posts here about MP-10 and problems of all sorts. I dumped mine a week after I downloaded it. Do you really need 10? If not, uninstall it and go back to 9.
I don't have any problems with WMP10 per se...it's just that when playing streaming video and then closing the video connection, my WMP10 apparently continues to run in the background. When I try to open another (or even the same) video stream, nothing happens. I must reboot to solve the problem. In rebooting, I get a screen "MP still running...not responding...end program" (something like that). I click End and the computer will reboot and the problem is solved...once again. Any ideas please? I'm barely at the intermediate level in my knowledge.
