Can any one help me fix this problem?

I've had this problem before, and also when I close it, the music is still playing but theres no window. I usually just end the process.

Not sure if there is a fix for this really.

*smiles innocently*

MPC is part of the CCCP i mentioned. CCCP is merely a codec pack, that comes with MPC.

MS Media Player sucks anyway! :nutkick:
