If you have this problem after you install Service Pack 1, that would be
more interesting. There are some instances in Windows Vista pre-SP1 where
external apps can leave a bogus reference count open to the player, thus
preventing shutdown. In SP1 the player is smarter about making sure
reference counts are valid.

You should be extremely less likely to have this problem once you install
Vista SP1. Is SP1 installed to this system?

I am having the problems where the media player is not quitting AND I
am running Vista 32bit SP1. It was doing it before, and it still does
it now :(
 
If you could use the Windows Debugging Toolkit:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
and capture a DMP file of the player in this state, I'd really appreciate a chance to look at that.

Thanks,
-Zach

Hi Zach,

I presume I can just create a DMP from the windows task manager by
right clicking on the wmplayer.exe process and choosing Create Dump
File. I have done this, but the file size is about 365Megs. Where can
I upload this to?

Thanks,
Jonathan
 
You probably want to ZIP or RAR that up first, but anyplace like yousendit
or megaupload or that kind of temporary file transfer site would be great.

Thank you, I'll pass this along to a friend of mine who's interested
in/following up on this.
