Media Player

Anyone having problems with it being a resource hog? Are there any work arounds?

An Operating System from Microsoft a resource hog?????????
It could just be me but it seems that when Win95 came out it was a Hog and all updates and new OS's just become Hoggier.
Good to see this topic finally here though I was about to ask who I had to kill to get one going.

its very good, haven't done a lot with it yet but this could fix some problems for ya

I have found Media Player to take ages to load up, even on my Athlon 750, but when it's up and running, it runs like a dream.

I found it a lot easier, if you want to view a few clips to leave media up and running, and just click on the files to make a lot faster loading time

Users! Cant live with em, cant kill em!

I run a PIII 550 media player springs up good and fast the only ME related problem is that if your drive is in the slightest bit fragged, ME goes into snail mode run defrag and its cured

ps the first critical update seemed to cure some of my initial quibbles

Hi,

I have a Athlon 700 with 128MB ram, no problems loading up, and I have a lot of music and video clips that use Media player as their default. How much ram do u have installed???

192MB

I think I found part of the problem. If I turn the animations off, it works fine. I play games on this thing all the time and graphics were never a problem till now.

Did anyone notice that we don't need a audio cable to play adio CDs under ME..?

i only use media player for video files...audio i opt for winamp or sonique

I am setting up a system for my little brother and I was considering using 98lite, but I know nothing about it.
Here is the system I am putting together for him:
P166
64Mb ram
3d Rage II
Lan card.
3 Gb HD
(No modem -- I am not setting it up for the internet)

I do want to give him the option of using the internet in the future, but right now it will hav eno internet. I want it to be as fast as possible. I have no money to put into it except parts I have from other systems.

Any suggestions for the OS? He just wants to play games (he is only 12 years old).

Why not just toss in WIndows 95 , it will run the games for him ok, (98 will do as well but it takes longer to boot
