Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / February 2006Media Player
Why does my windows media player come up everytime i reboot my computer? I've taken everything out of startup, looked through the registry and can't find any information in the registry to where it may be starting up. I've checked msconfig, ran every type of spyware tools you can think of. Everything is up to date as far as patches. I am running windows xp sp2. I've even gone into msconfig and disabled everything and rebooted and it still comes up everytime. Any suggestions? thanks, chris According to this site http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/12478-windows-media-player -autoloads-after-windows-xp-home-boot.html you have a trojan. You want to get rid of that nasty quick. Apparently some antivirus programs cant pic it up? THey reccomend to use CWShredder . CWShredder was one of the one's I ran and it didn't pick up anything. Any other suggestions? thanks, chris > According to this site > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > THey reccomend to use CWShredder . I used to be able to insert a CD into either DVD or CDRW drives. I would always get a 'menu' asking if I wanted to open the files, view files, play music, etc'. I no longer get any message of any kind wheninserting disks. I have to manually open. I have gone into properties of all disk drives and checked 'restore', but I still have no menus when inserting a disk. Does anyone know why? and how can I resolve this to go back to the way it was????

It should sort of reset autoplay. I had the EXACT same problem, and this fixed it. You may have to repeat it a number of times and with different configurations. e.g. try to fix both drives at once, or one at a time etc. Sometimes you may fix an error, but run the program again and it will say that there is another error. COntinually run it till you get no errors, then configure the settings in the disk drives and hopefully it should work. Thanks! I'll give it a try and let you know if it works...

Your message cleared up problem with DVD drive, but I cannot utilize the Drive E:CD RW. Utility did not work with repairing this. Cannot write to CD's nor open disks. Any good suggestions for this problem?

Did it happen as a direct result of using the autoplay fixer program? Was it previously useable? Please explain the exact situation. Could you all respond to my question? thanks, chris > Did it happen as a direct result of using the autoplay fixer program? > > Was it previously useable? > > Please explain the exact situation. oops,sorry, how did mitsu hijack your thread ;D. Try downloading regcleaner, and clean out all bad links and other bad stuff in the registry. Run tools>registery cleanup, and delete anthing it finds. Then check the startup list tab and see if microsoft media player is hiding in there. |
