Process wmplayer.exe running in the background

March 11, 2010, 8:37 PM

I’ve noticed that on my primary machine, at nearly all times, the Windows Media Player process was running hidden in the background consuming a unnecessary portion of my system’s RAM. First, I thought it was related to some iPod syncing software that I had run some time ago, or perhaps even with the last.fm service, but after some further investigation, I discovered it was actually related to my G15 and its LCD panel.

The fix is to untick the Windows Media Sideshow Gadget which can be done by going to the Control Panel and then going into “Windows SideShow”. After that, there were no more ghost WMP process that I’ve noticed on my system.

    Had the same thing with my G19. No use unchecking anythung in the logitech panel, went by the Windows sideshow and unticked both Mono and QVGA.
