One of my playlists is playing and I can't turn it off! There's no OFF or STOP button. I put in a different CD & it played at the same time as the other one (both playing at the same time).

It might be a broken copy of Windows Media Player is running.

  1. Close all programs.

  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Escape to bring up the Windows Task Manager.

  3. Open the Processes tab.

  4. Click the CPU heading twice so that it sorts with highest CPU usage on top.

  5. If one of the entries using CPU is wmplayer.exe, select it and press End Process. It may have a different name if it isn't Windows Media Player that's the issue, but I'm not going to tell you to randomly start ending processes.

  6. Worst case scenario, restart your computer.
