question with windows media player.

[blahxyzblah]

this sometimes occurs when i use windows media player. i would be playing a video fine, then close that and then open up a new video. but when i click on the new video, nothing opens up, it just has the loading thing for 1sec and goes away and nothing opens up. about 10-15min. later, i would try again and it works again.
anyone know what's wrong with wmp, or am i doing something wrong?
thanks

My guess would be that some vital element isn't closing down properly so it isn't avaialble for for the next video (but you probably figured that out already). You can try opening Task Manager (Ctrl, Alt, Del) and watching the "Processes" to see if anything sticks and Google on it's name. As for fixing it you could try a registry cleaner - Abexo is quite thorough http://www.abexo.com/ - or a a good overall cleaner - CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ and/or Cleanup http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/ are good. These might not fix your probelm but they wouldn't do any harm.
