[PROBLEM] Music not playing right... or left :P by ForestPlus! on 09-14-2006 at 07:37 PM
Well, Recently i've started to notice that whenever i have music playing on Windows Media Player 11, whenever i start scrolling (on a web browser, word document, it doesn't matter) it just start fuzzing and slowing down the song. i hate this, as i love the music i play.. Can anyone give me advice on how to solve this annoying misshappens?
Thanks

That usually happens to me on Windows Vista, but never on XP
But anyway it's a beta

Try disabling the visualization, and minimising it, The visualization uses a lot of prossor power, and sometomes Memory too..
Tried that, doesn't seem to help.

Does it happen with just wmp11 with now listening enabled try it without and the wmp11 toolbar disable that and..With every sounds does it happen or just wmp11
RE: [PROBLEM] Music not playing right... or left :P by ForestPlus! on 09-14-2006 at 07:55 PM
Well... for some random reason.. it just stopped doing that with WMP11.. but it has now decided to do it with the messenger sounds.. such as nudges ect...
dodgy betas..

To be honest I wouldn't blame the betas. It seems like a simple case of lack of memory on your behalf

routine slow downs while using another application aren't generally considered a bug... memory or processor leaks can be a bug, but since it works fine here i doubt there's an issue in that department...

Maybe your low on memory, how much ram do you have?
Sorry daz, didn't see that post first off
RE: [PROBLEM] Music not playing right... or left :P by DarkMe on 09-14-2006 at 08:09 PM
I think ya need to upgrade
me too (only 512 
)
RE: [PROBLEM] Music not playing right... or left :P by ForestPlus! on 09-14-2006 at 08:30 PM
Yeah, i've been meaning to upgrade for some time.. but before i formatted my hardrive i never had this problem.. so why has it started now?
also how much would the cheapest but reasonable good upgrade of RAM cost?
RE: [PROBLEM] Music not playing right... or left :P by DarkMe on 09-14-2006 at 08:31 PM
Maybe you have too many programs...

Hmm..i dunno, when i formatter (or before) i had about a quater of my hardrive space left* and now i have 3 quaters of my hardrive space left.
*yes, i have an old computer, but should be getting an 80GB hardrive soon-ish. currently only have 30 GB

It depends on what Type of RAM you need, Download CPUZ and see what type of RAM your Mobo uses, and google your motherboard too see how much RAM you can have.
A good 512 DDr Stick should be good (if your mobo supports it) and will cost £30 - £50.....
K. £50 i can hack i suppose. still trying to work out where on CPUZ the thing for finding out RAM is, but i have had a look on my MoBo before and i know there aren't any other spare slots for extra RAM, so i suppose that'll make things more difficult.
