From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

If you click a link to a WMP file on a web page, WMP will launch and play the
file, however the window you launched it from will be hung. 
 The hung window may be closed normally. This happens whether it is the only
window, a separate window, or a tabbed window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to www.cdnow.com and choose any musical artist's page. Select an album, then
click on one of the samples in Windows Media Player format. 

Actual Results:  The WMP (8.0 in this case) will launch and play the file, but
the window you launched it from will be hung.

Expected Results:  Play the file, and still respond.
