Happened to me too. Are you using the WMP 10 beta? anyways try reinstalling else upgrade. There is one more way but i am not sure if its the right solution. If u have any external codec pack installed then uninstall that.

Try closing the process instead of closing the application by clicking on the X button !

well, it keeps playing for a second or 2 in my system but it stops automatically. THis happens mainly when there are a lot of processes going on or when the CPU usage is high
