Win XP program problems

[Rhoxed]

Im having problems with my fresh install of WIN XP. Whenever i open windows media player classic and watch a video file, when im finished it wont close (i click the X and it dissapears) but when i go into task manager it shows MPClassic.exe still while taking 100% cpu power. (only takes 100% after being closed) this also happens with a couple other programs, but not all (winamp, MPclassic, uTorrent, F@H) its pretty annoying having to restart my computer everytime i want to do something else (from movie to music i need to restart, from music to web surfing, i need to restart) any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you overclocking the CPU and/or the memory? If so, run Ortho to check for system stability.

It also does this when the CPU is on stock settings. Pass orthos stable for over 8hrs.

Just a wild guess here but what are the attributes set at, eg: read only, hidden?

for each program? well for instance Media Player Classic is most used, and does it every time - attributes nothing is selected.
