Hi, I've just got a new PC. Every time I shut it down a window appears saying:
WMS Idle Programme not responding End now.
Does anyone know what this is and how I can get rid of it?
Thanks.

Give this a go. This was the most usefull one I found with a quick google, all the othrs seem to be people going on about how they tried lots of different things, which doesn't really help much

No idea what WMS is, but I would go into MSCONFIG and remove everything from the startup that you dont need. Will speed up start up and shutdown

EDIT: Seems to what the Revs link suggests aswell

Thanks for the replies guys.
I tried that but did'nt have Windows Messenger Servive or Windows Media Service in the start up or the services tab?

here's a task manager screen grab

Aha, stopping that NMBgMonitor.exe in the services was another suggestion I saw, i'll have another google n see. I think it's index related or something

[Model Citizen]

Got it.
Thanks for all the help.
It apparently was that NMBgMonitor item that's doing it.
Turned it off and it's sorted!
Thanks again :)

Rev,
MEdia player always throws up silly issues. Advice would be for videos to download VLC - will play any file without needing the correct Codecs. For Music Winamp is fantastic. Both are free downloads and will put you right

Yes i use mpc for my video playback, which i fine 99% of the time. The problem with media player is that it won't open nor install I get the same error trying both about there being no entry point with DllRegisterServer with regrds to msvcrt.dll. As i very rarely use the main player this doesn't matter too much, butI've had to turn off the video preview in explorer to prevent a BSoD every time a video is selected, and have to avoid web pages that use media player to play videos to prevent browser death.
I've tried everything I can think of (I'm on win2k) from replacing the dll, reinstalling IE, forcing servive pack etc updates, 2k repair files etc, and not a thing makes a difference I've just come to accept that microsofts integration of everything just means that once it's broken, it's broken, and as I don't want to reinstall my oS I just have to live with it ;)
