Everytime i watch a video or listen to MP3s useing Windows Media Player i get this process in Task manager (mfpmp.exe with the description Media Foundation Protected Pipeline). The annoying thing is while watching some trailers for Mass Effect i find each Video creates a new process and each of them are taking around a 105.890 Kb of memory and altogether using 15% of my CPU. Can any tell we what this is i never had this in XP so I'm guessing it's a Vista thing. The problem is how to stop it cause when it crashes which it usually does i can't watch any videos or listen to music till i reboot.
