I just played a short video clip (.wmv) on my Vista machine. It took
Windows media player about 20 seconds to start playing this. This is a tiny
12 second clip. Media player says something in the lower left hand corner
about changing media. In my old XP machine this took about a second. On
this machine any other player I choose starts play back in about a second.
What the devil is Windows Media player checking, configuring or seeing if I
have the rights, while I'm waiting for this to play. What is going on here?
I want to play my clip, what takes so long?
Core Duo 2, 2gb ram, 256 nVida card. My Pentium M, 512 ram, integrated crap
video xp machine can play almost instantly.
Shouldn't Vista do a better job of this?
