• Windows Media Player turns on by itself

  I had a problem with Windows Media Player acting on itself, forcing himself to the front as the dominant program.  This is not the case when I boot up, but rather at random, usually when I'm games.  It will automatically turn on, forces itself upward, and even when I close it, it immediately turns on again.  He dominates so much that I can't even in the start menu to shut down the computer.  Usually, I have to do Ctrl/alt/del and then stop the pc from there.  Reboot and then it will be fine.  It's totally random, sometimes not happening everyday, then happening several times.  Someone at - he heard of this or know how I can fix?  Thanks in advance for any help :)
