I recently performed a fresh install of Windows Vista on my computer, and i've been having a few problems since. One of which is that Media Player keeps changing my Visualisation to Album Art randomly. I change it back to what I usually have, but then it will change back to Album Art if I open Media Player again. It doesn't do it all the time I open it, but it does most of the time.
Any ideas??

I thought i'd let everyone know what the problem actually was just in case anyone has the same problem, and so this thread can be marked as solved
It seems after numerous tests, I found that when I installed the game Call of Juarez, it forces WMP 11 to change the visualisation to Album Art.
Because the Call of Juarez game runs a service called "Call of Juarez 4.7 Drivers Auto Removal" (pr2alvyb.exe), that is somehow the cause of the issue.
So anyone who has Call of Juarez, expect WMP 11 to automatically change to Album Art
