Default Interesting Vista problem.

So I start videos sometimes and the file will play, the sound will be on, but WMP won't open, so I have to open it and there it is. It's not hiding in the background, it's not on the toolbar...just not opened up...

Weird. Anyone else get this sometimes?

install linux.

i did 2 weeks ago and i couldn't be happier.

my experience with vista has not been pleasant so far... but i'd do what jani said- find the task in the task manager and kill it.
