will uninstalling display drivers mean i cant see whats on the screen
No. It will just make the performance very bad.
what do you mena by very bad? sorry.. yay thanks for the help reaper
It will give you very low FPS. Everything should display OK, but I notice that when I have no gfx drivers installed, that when you use scrollbars, you can see the poor performance.
I'm using GeForce 6200 and I havn't experienced any problems apart for the initial install of WMP11 where there was alot of memory usage like you experienced and the mini-hub didn;t work correctly, after a simple restart of my machine, it worked perfect.

cant use the beta on this pc because of WGA.... so need the old one
Download the WGA-friendly version?
Well i found it by my self (well the bypass not the download) so shhh its pretty easy
Just one thing ... that isnt 98% its no of processes run by the pc .... or is it actually in percentage form
Blah either way .... i think its cause its reading the id3 tags and updating the info on the screen (artist info and stuff) so it mabbe causing it to slow and skip. Does it cure itself later ?
O.P. RE: Windows Media Player Using 98-100% CPU ???
no cure.. just gets worse... i bin reading anything i can find via google and one person said it happened to him because his wmp was automatically looking in folders for new media... i had set this up with wmp10 to find new episodes of lost, prison break, sopranos and to search the my music folder... totally to about 30-40 gb worth of stuff... ive removed them and hopefully its going to work
