SYMPTOMS
The first time that you run Windows Media Player 9 Series after installation, a wizard appears that says, &quot;Welcome to Windows Media Player 9 Series&quot;. If you click the close button (X) to quit the wizard, the left mouse button does not respond when you click desktop shortcuts. The left mouse button will work on other desktop items, such as the Start menu. The right mouse button is unaffected.

Note By using the wizard, you can set privacy options, view the privacy statement, set the file types for the player. The buttons in the wizard include Back, Next, and Close.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
This issue generally occurs only if you start Windows Media Player the first time by double-clicking an audio file or a video file on the desktop.
