You might have some spyware. I have had instances where "winpup" or some other spyware was corrupting MediaPlayer (wmplayer.exe) and I had to run Adaware 6.0 (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/), and The Cleaner (http://www.moosoft.com/) to get rid of it, and then reinstall a clean MediaPlayer from the Microsoft website to get it fixed.

I suggest running one or more of these programs to see if you have something there that shouldn't be and possibly clean it up to see if that helps.

I found this in a google search about Media Player 9 spyware.
Read the "End User License Agreement (EULA)". Check this out:

Do you really want to give microshit that option?? I don't!!!

NotA, you can disable the features which share your information in the options.
