Wierd WMP behavior

Hello everyone

I hope someone has run into this problem and has a possible solution for this.

the problem: >>

After I start my computer and leave it running for say about 30 mins. Then when I try to open and run windows media player, it runs but there is no GUI present. I can only hear the sound of whatever is playing but no player it self. I can see it in the task manager and that's about it. I have reinstalled the O/S (Vista Home Premium-32bit) once and after a while it still gives me the same problem. <<

I had this laptop for 2 months and I dont think that any drivers or software causes this conflict as the problem starts after 2 weeks or so and there is no update issue.

On the otherhand, if I restart the PC and then open WMP, it runs fine and I can see everything and even touch it.

ANY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS???

Config:
Dell XPS M1330
2 Ghz C2D, 3 GB RAM, Vista Home Premium-32 bit (Product Red), Intel ABGN wireless.
