Default WMP11, continue track after sleep mode


I've been searching the web up and down for hours without finding the
solution to this problem. Then I finally find one single thread where
someone have
been experiencing the same as me, only to discover that the problem
stands
with no suggestion of solution. Hope this thread can find someone who
can
help.

I have a DELL XPS 1530, running Windows Ultimate and WMP11, and I
almost
without exception listen to mixes of music which is around 2 hours
continuing music
(one track) and when Windows either hibernate or sleeps, on "awakening"
the
timeline is gray (you can't move the songs playing position since the
bar and
the blue line representing where in the song it's playing, that bar is
simply
not working!?). No matter where you put the bar, the song will start
from the beginning when you click play. You can actually read where in
the song you left off (i.e. it will say 53:02 / 2:06:55), but you have
to click play button (and the song
will start playing from the beginning) and then manually drag the
timeline
bar to the position you left off (in this example 53:02).

Since it's an old habit of mine to just clicking play when it comes
back
from sleep, I constantly start the song/mix/track from the beginning
and at
the same time missing out where I left off because I do this
automatically
thinking it will just continue.

Please do help me with this very irritating problem, or else WMP will
be
totally useless for me (and I happen to like WMP very much, well until
now
that is.....).

Thanks!

Nobody here knows this issue and possible solutions? Could I ask anyone
of you could try your self and see if it's the same at your computer?
Play a song in WMP11, put computer to sleep (while track is playing) and
see it it can continue where it left off or if you have to restart the
track from the beginning.

Maybe this problem is only my side, though I don't suspect that.

Thanks.

When Sleep mode is activated WPM11 receives a Stop command and its settings
are saved. When woken up, WMP11 will play from the beginning of the last
audio track or video file it was playing before being interrupted by Stop.
WMP11 does not have a “play from last point” feature.
