Recently, i just start up my computer and use Windows Media Player. When i start playing a video, and i want to forward the video or close it. There is always a loading sign and the response is slow. EVERYTHING else on my windows 7 computer is working without any lag except WMP. I simply switched to using VLC. However when using Windows Media player for music, it will alright till today when the whole WMP start lagging again. I need the WMP to for my walkman as it doesnt support Itunes for album art....

Any suggestion on how to solve this?

Thanks!
 
lol Thanks for all you have done Illusio 12! But at this point. I will go try install WMP. If it doesnt work anymore, i wont really bother fixing it anymore as i have decide to switch to using Mp3tag to tag my videos and play them with Itunes. As for video i have always been using VLC.
 
Hi Newbiekid, LOL🙂, for all the hassle we've ended up having, will probably uninstall WMP12, AS SOON as I get a working solution figured out.

MARE of epic proportions. :-/

Vlc or MPhc for video, winamp,vlc, for tunes.
 


Sorry for all the troubles............... but of course its still the best if i can get Windows Media Player working again.........Thanks for everything.
 
@ Newbiekid, no need to apologize dude, my pleasure ( :-/ ), anyway, would not suggest a path to you I would not be willing to follow.

Don't worry, or feel bad, all a learning process, which is what trouble shooting is about!
 


pardon? What do you mean by hardware acceleration? I don't change any window settings normally as i am not very familiar with them. Normal trouble shoots i do are for games.
 
Hi Newbiekid, just an update. DID NOT find any satisfactory solution to re-installing WMP12, no matter what i tried. Eventually gave up and decided to re-install. Have payed around with Windows 8 for a few weeks ( ok, some nice toutches, looks good! ) but have now re-installed Win 7 LOL 🙂

Piss poor situation i admit, but no other choice since like WMP12 for some things.
