145407 2003-05-18 05:27:00 WMP9 uses more CPU power and overall system resources.

I can only suggest you look into WinTasks 4 (If you're keen I have a download Link of a fully working version) which will let you specify the priority for WMP9

Otherwise, Upgrade your PC perhaps (What are your system Spec's?)

Cheers

145409 2003-05-21 00:18:00 you can still use the old mediaplayer, its called mplayer2.exe, just search your harddrive for it. Don't recommend Media Player 9, its painfully slow on my athlon 1800+, takes about 30s before it opens a file once you click on it rsnic (3780)
145410 2003-05-21 03:29:00 Something odd here!!!!!

My old 225mmx only takes 9 secs from desktop to fully open and 3 seconds between stopping a track and having a new one start.

Have I missed something, mhz’s now faster than ghz’s? :^o

145411 2003-05-21 08:42:00 I also have recently up-graded from MP7.1 to 9, and find it a piece of the proverbial. Any song over 192 bitrate it won't play clearly, is sluggishly slow and sometimes the visualisations won't even show, much less play. I am also running Win 98se, 500 mghz and 183 mg ram. Media Player 7.1 used to run fine, even if it was slow, so I am interested in comments on this thread as well. Any comments welcome. Tony S. (450)
