My computer is playing MP3s without me having an MP3 player running, or indeed any sign of an active process in my task manager.  It's taking up no processor cycles or anything.  It's like the MP3s were loaded into my sound card and are playing from there.  In fact, I can't stop them from playing.

Not the first time this has happened, either.  The only way to fix it is to reboot.  What the hell is going on with my computer?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

This was taken during the middle of one of the songs.  Running Win2k.  The high memory usage is because I have MAX running as well.

Sounds like another episode from the X-Files ;)

Well, if you don't see any stuff running there it's gotta be the sound card. These things sometimes just blow up.

This has happened to me too. I think its something to do with the way the windows hardware abstraction layer deals with audio, tho I can't be more specific 'cos I don't know.

If you can isolate them to certain mp3 files or at least a certain folder....try renaming it. It's a **** way to fix it... but any port in a storm eh ?

Only one thing you can do - grab the nearest priest and get him to perform an exorcism on your sound card :nod:

That's not the computer. Turn it off, get out of the house. Run. Avoid security cameras. And cats. Keep away from any cats. Now!

I'm not going to ask where the hell do you get those things.

I'm placing my bet on the SM girlies
