windows media player... even though all im telling it to do is play a song... without visualization is constantly using like 90-99% of my proc... and it really slows down the computer drastically... like to the point that my screen saver wont even go frame by frame.

when i try to exit it i get the following message.
Windows Media Player is currently converting files in the backround. If you exit now, conversion of the current file will stop. Are you shure u want to exit?

So... since im not knowledgibly converting any files... wtf is going on.

Visit windows update, you might have something exploiting a media player hole.

nope, have all the latest updates. I added all my mp3 files to the library... if that has anything to do with it... although i dont see why. I took off convert files in the backround for my portable devices... um... i guess ill get me a hijack this log... im at a loss.

no luck with hijack this... nothing in spybot or adaware... its really a brand new install cause its on the new lappy. I had it for about 2 weeks a week and a half of which i didnt have it because it was getting the screen replaced... btw, no dead pixels in new screen. Um... it only happens after about 10-15 minutes of idling. Then it starts this bullshit, and steals all of the system resources... any other ideas.

I would remove the mp3's from the library.

You don't need to add them to WMP, it really serves no purpose.

There's another post on this somewhere around here...........WMP using 100% system resources after a few minutes. It's fixable, just gotta find the post.

I had a similar problem on my girlfriends computer. What fixed it was uninstalling all the audio drivers on the system and downloading the new, even though windows said they were up do date. After that, everything when smoothly.
