    Media Player 100% CPU

    Just downloaded Media Player 11, installed it and now can't use it. Even if is just open, not playing anything, CPU usage rises to 100%. Have tried reinstalling it. Was previously using the Beta version which worked fine. Uninstalled and reinstalled all my codecs. No help. Any ideas?

    Have you done a reboot yet and have you disabled the network share feature, I've had this problem and it went away on its own so I wouldn't worry tbh.
