Just started using my new pc on a regular basis now, inc listening ot my music via WMP. Recently iv noticed WMP eats up a helluvalot of CPU & memory resources(more then usual), we are taking a min of 50k, and averaging 120k - 150k, enough to cause itself to lagg & jutter the music.
Our old PC never had this problem and WMP rarely went higher then 25k so somethings up. So far iv upgraded to the b2 of WMP 11 hopeing it would correct itself but so far no luck, it still sits there eating 100k+ memory and 50% CPU usage.
There are no plugins, and im running duel core 6300, gig ram, 7900GT etc, Xp patched up to the eyes.
Any idea what could be causing this? Its a nightmare when it comes to playing games & running it in the background.
cheers guys.
edit: i dont plan on changing players, used WMP for too long to change & cba with the hassle of switching, but thanks for the would-be suggesions anyway.
