wmp 11 - sluggish by Jarrod on 12-25-2006 at 12:29 PM
has anyone noticed windows media player uses a really slugish playing engine?
RE: wmp 11 by Chris4 on 12-25-2006 at 12:32 PM
It does?
What exactly do you mean?
RE: wmp 11 by Jarrod on 12-25-2006 at 12:35 PM
me and my friend both noticed it slows our comps down it takes longer to open files, it makes movies look really badly endoced but when run i power dvd they're fine and it makes our comps lag

I have 256MB ram on a Pentium III 1.06GHz laptop, and WMP11 is working fine.
To tell you the truth, I haven't tried playing any videos, since I recently formatted, and don't have any videos in this computer.
Try disabling the visualization and see if this solves your problem with music playback.
