    lol, idk wtf happened but wmp takes 100% cpu usage now in vista when playing mp3's (avi's and the such take up little usage). if i use mpc it drops down to 5-10% or something of that nature. wtf is going on? someone seen this and/or know how to fix besides using mpc? i want to use wmp and not mpc for my music! suggestions?

    thats one of the rare situation, not every time you run it. apparently it happens when you move your mouse while watching movie or listening music(in my case it happened when i was listening music).
    it happened to me a couple of times, probably will be fixed in SP.

    on vista VLC cuts off the Aero feature if you use it to play video.

    That's good then.
    Why not share the particular setting with the rest of the world, eh?

    like stated above. i want to use wmp for my mp3's. not anything else. i've googled this matter and A LOT of ppl have had this prob, but mostly in XP. maybe no one has started a complaint with vista in this matter. idk. it's pissing me off though. i notice when i'm @ 100% too. shit starts to sssllllooowww down...
