Why doesn't my msn show what I am listening to on itunes even after I set the options to display main window when I sign in?

The reason why Windows Live Messenger doesn't display the song information you are listening to in iTunes is because the Windows Media Player process is operating.
Even though you may not have it open, it is running in the background, not doing anything, but this process hijacks the song information being displayed by Messenger.
Get us all up to speed:
1. sign in to the most recent version of windows live messenger
2. make sure the "show what I'm listening to" box is checked
3. open iTunes and play music < important that music is playing
4. check to see if music is shown in messenger
no?
The following steps close the Windows Media Player service.
To get it working again:
1. ctr + alt + del
2. (if this doesn't open the task manager, click task manager)
3. go to the processes tab
4. show processes from all users
5. continue
6. find wmplayer.exe *32 & WMPSideShowGadget.exe
7. right click > end process tree (to both)
8. click end process tree (to both)
9. close the task manager
10. check Windows Live Messenger to see if song information is being shown
and it should work.
if not - you may have another media player running a process i.e. Spotify, winamp, vlc player, ...
Gorilla_UK :D x
great!!!! it works!!!!
I just wanna say GORILLA_UK >> YOU ARE THE BEST << I have been fighting with this issue for over 4 months where sometimes MSN shows what I am listening to & sometimes it does not. Well, I Google'd everywhere for a solution and no one knew what they were talking about.
Until I came across your suggestion . Killing the processe wmplayer.exe *32 - It did it for me.. Again, Thank You! :))
*I Followed Every Single Step From The Answer Given, But It Still Doesn't Work For Me. =/It's Been Bothering Me For Months Now, Cuz Both WMPlayer And iTunes Doesn't Appear For The "Show What I'm Listening To" Option -.-Iunno Wth Is Going On. I Even Tried Using MSNPlus, But It Was Freezing A Lot On Me, All My Friend's Are Also Running On Windows 7, But They Don't Seem To Have The Problem I'm Having
