My windows media player keeps

Question

My windows media player keeps popping up on my screen and when I close it, it just pops back up again. My volume mute also keeps going on and off constantly! I can't really use my computer because it keeps popping up in front of any application I am trying to run. I thought I could just uninstall the program like I have in the past, but it seems to be a volatile situation for many other programs in my computer.....any ideas?
