was wondering if anyone has had this problem. everytime i have to exit out of tomb raider anniversary , this pops up to start working , it . need to know what to do to keep this from happenning

I wonder if Windows Media Player is trying to autoplay something on the game disc. Do you see any media type files on the game disc?

If that's not the problem, I'd guess it's a registry problem and maybe a registry cleaner would fix it.

It sounds like you may have autoplay enabled, and its detecting media on the disk. Check to see if you've enabled a default option.

Autoplay Wiki

its windows media center thats starts up
which registry cleaner would work better

You don't want to run a registry cleaner, you need to look at your autoplay options (I'm assuming this is XP MCE).

Click, Start, My Computer and highlight the optical drive. Right click it and select Properties (choose Take no action).

its on my laptop running vista

For Vista its Start, Control Panel - Hardware and Sound, Autoplay.

Edit -

Here's a link that may help -

Change AutoPlay settings

ok i found it and unchecked the box .
well i did that and hit save and it still comes on when shutting down my game. guess maybe i will just have to live with it. thanks for the help

You may have another media manager installed (like Win DVD media manager) that's opening the content.

Is it opening sound tracks or movie files?

its not opening anything up . just opening to show what all you can do with it
