Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtim Error R6016

Several times a day I get numerous error messages.  The title is Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library.  The message is, Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe  R6016 - not enough space for threaded data.

Running Windows 7 Pro (x64)

Any ideas what is causing this and what I can do to repair it?
