i might be wrong here, but please try to scan your system with malwarebytes & superantispyware, both are free software, some of those file are fake, if i am right there must only 1 be running ???

not sure if wmp10 is the cause of this process, i have win7 ultimate installed and don't have that issue, so its hard to say that's the problem is wmp10, i think it's spyware or viruses.... try it and let us know

thx

oh before i forget, you can also try to do the following:

open "run" type in msconfig, press enter
go to stratup and remove all ticks except your anti-virus prog
restart and see if the processes are still there

good luck

I'm going a bit bonkers. Every time I try to play a CD or watch a DVD on my WinXP system in Windows Media Player, the sound fades out and I'm left without any audio track. I've tried jiggling my speaker cables, reseating my sound card, restarting Windows Media Player (or even my PC), and even sacrificing an old Abba CD to the Microsoft Gods, but nothing helps. How do I fix this sort of sound device problems?

What version of WMP have you got in Windows XP,WMP 9,10 or 11?

You should be able to find out what version you have got by opening WMP and clicking on help, and where it says about WMP.

But I have found on all versions of WMP, even on WMP 12 on Windows 7, that it does not play all formats. Even WMP 12 won't play FLV or MPG3 files. And none of the codecs I have installed work with any version of Windows Media Player.

WMP is all right for playing AVI and WMV files including video files recorded with desktop web cam software. But it does not play some other formats.

So it is a good idea to install another media player,such as VLC Player or Gom Player. As these media players will play any video or audio format. And you can run Gom Player,VLC or another player of your choice alongside Windows Media Player.

If you have got Windows XP there is also an earlier version of WMP,WMP 6.4,mplayer 2. And also WMP 5.1,mplayer 32. As well as your latest version of Windows Media Player,WMP 9,10 or 11.

But these 2 earlier versions do not play advanced formats either. So you could try the other 2 players I mentioned. They should work. Andrea Borman.
