O.P. RE: Windows Media Player Using 98-100% CPU ???
*scanning*

EDIT: only thing that was found was a few tracking cookies from advert sites... so its not that AFAIK... any other possible reasons? thanks..

EDIT EDIT:
i googled 'windows media player cpu usage' and some people are having the same problem... or have had. and what i kept seeing was nvidia geforce

surprise surprise! ive got an nvidia geforce fx 5200.... ive been using google and looking on the nvidia website but i cant seem to find any drivers (because i want to try and update them to see if this rectifies the problem...

does anyone know where i can get a decent copy of nvidia geforce fx 5200 drivers... i dont want to download them off of a non-nvidia website just for safety and so far google cant find me that.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html is the download i found.... its downloading right now

but the instructions say

Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.

will uninstalling display drivers mean i cant see whats on the screen :S:S:S:S
