It's trying to connect to an MP3 player via USB to synchronize or download files. Hopefully you'll find the relevant place in WMP based on this vague description.

They say they can download heavens knows what using windows Media Player. I keep checking take no action, tabbing to OK and checking it. It's fine for about the next 2 minutes when it comes back again. How can I get rid of this message? Judith
