WMP11 = 11.0.6001.7000

Just opened a video, from Outlook (yes, from a safe sender). I could hear
the sound, but did not see the video or the player running. Opened WMP11
manually and video was playing. After I finished watching it, I closed WMP11.
The player closed but the audio continued in the background. I had to close
WMP from the Task Manager to get it to stop. Any idea what's going on here
and what I do to fix it?

Thanks.

Or press Stop...

This should indicate that there's a live reference count on the player
(proably be a plugged in device) that is preventing full shutdown.

Speaking for myself only.
See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
