Anyone find a solution for this?? It is quite annoying to know that WMP
doesn't shut down and continues to play in the background. I'm running Vista
Business 32 bit system. Is windows going to fix this problem??

Strange, I have a Vista laptop running beside me when answering these
questions and mine shuts down instantly when I click that X. It does in XP
as well. If your just won't try clicking the stop playing button on the play
controls first.

I doubt Windows will fix the problem but a programmer might at some
point ;-)

WMP on Ultimate here will continue to play music if Media Centre is open
before WMP is opened. After closing WMP I have to close MC to get the
music to stop but I don't know of a fix.

I have this problem as well -- but ONLY on SP1.

I am using Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

I have narrowed the problem down somewhat. First, I have to open WMP by
double-clicking on a media file (e.g., mp3). If I open WMP through the start
menu, the failure won't happen. Then, I have to hibernate the system without
closing WMP. After resuming, when I try to exit WMP, the process won't end.
Then when I try to open WMP again (through Start menu or double-clicking) the
window won't open.

That particularly indicates that one of your system drivers isn't
unhibernating well.

It would probably be a great idea to identify the video card and audio card
for your system. What are those? Do the vendors have driver updates
available for those?

The video is "nVidia NVS 140M". The latest driver version on Lenovo's site is
6.15.11.0145. I have also found two other driver versions: 6.15.11.7482 and
6.15.11.7570. All three of these driver versions behave the same way
(wmplayer does not close with SP1).

The audio is "SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio". The latest driver
version is 6.10.1.5510. I have also tried removing the driver from ADI
(uninstall SoundMax) and using the MS provided base driver (6.0.6000.16386),
as well as disabling the audio device. In all three cases the error still
happens.

Do you think it is odd that this behavior only happens if WMP is opened by
double-clicking a media file? If I use the start menu and then open the media
file, the problem doesn't happen!

Thanks for the help.
