That sounds extremely as if you have a video card driver issue and that you
should pursue an update for your video card driver... =\

When playing a video on WMP 11, if I close WMP while the video is playing,
WMP 11 will take 10+ seconds to exit. The window closes immediately, but
using task manager, I can see that the process wmplayer takes 10+ seconds
to
actually go away.

I've mostly noticed this issue on videos that stream at 2000kbps or
faster.
It doesn't seem to matter if the source of the video is from a harddrive
or
from a web site.

If the video is near or at the end, the problem usually doesn't occur.
