WMP 12 Problem - Fail to Open After Closing It

I am operating on Windows 7. I have WMP 12.0.7600.16415. Everytime I play a
video and close out the program I cannot re-open WMP again without rebooting
the computer. Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

What's the file type of these videos (AVI, WMV...)? If it's a file type
that WMP doesn't support by default, which codec did you install to play
it? Did you install any codec packs?

WMP probably keeps running in the background after closing. When you
restart WMP again, it immediately exits because it thinks that it's
still running. To force WMP to close, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, start Task
Manager, go to Processes, and end any wmplayer.exe processes. This
should at least not require you to reboot again.

Regards
