Okay welcome to support forum.

This problem is definately caused by something you have running in the background.

Largest culprits are Music Match, (make sure MM.exe is shutdown in the process tab)
and Virus protection programs, but anything that tries to access the main window to update can do it.
 
Have you ever installed music match?
Do you have any virus protection?
 
Most likely, those things are tricky to totally get rid of.

What about the music Match question?
Also What icons are in your system tray?
 
You just need to stop the MM.exe under the process tab everytime before playing (if you want to keep Music match installed.)
