re: Media Player 11 Lockup With .mpg Files Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 6:43 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (1951 messages posted) Those temps don't sound excessive, although my daughter's PC with temp monitors runs CPU at about 30, same as the HD. Certainly try disabling the WMP network service - Start - Run - services.msc - OK and then right-click on the service called Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, choose Properties and set the startup type to Disabled, then Apply the change. Click the button to stop the service. That will eliminate that and rid you of a system overhead. If doing all that, plus applying a new codec pack, does not change anything I would get paranoid! Cheers. Spexx.
