i have all the lateist drivers/video & sound codecs / windows updates and all that stuff

i've reformatted and it didnt help

i'm running
P4 2.6ghz 800mhz fsb
36gb raptor for OS
200gb for movies/vids
100gb for music
100gb for downloads
120gb for data
1Gb of cosair high end ram 400mhz matched pair
500watt raid max power supply
Abit IC7
nvidia g-force 4 4800 se

i do notice that when watching movies or vids the mem usage is 10mb or so then when it skips or pauses for a second it jumps to 13mb and falls back to 10mb when it restarts.

:confused:
 
spyware/adware

check what process is using up cpu at the time of the skip.

defrag

try a different player and check if it occurs doing high quality 3d game playing.

Click to expand...

already checked spyware

only 2 processes use the cpu at the same time and they never use more than 4-6%

there is always 75%+ sitting in system idle

i'm defraging now and downloading the lateist divx player i'll let you know
 
well i'm useing the lateist divx player and all is well i guess it was just windows media player
 
windows media player 9 can be a resource whore with new avi codecs. it also like to try to access the net every thirty seconds or so for some stupid reason.

you might have a slower machine possibly. id recommend http://www.bsplayer.com/ for an awesome minimalist very functional and usable avi player. it is better than wmp9 or divx. very tight fast efficient coding. skins kinda suck though.
 
thanks man but i was looking around for a possiable cause when i decided to go to system under control panel then click the performance tab. i found the problem right away. the only drive that had any page file was my OS drive. so i quickley fixed that and now everything is super. even windows media player 9 is great no skips. stupid windows xp not setting a page file for those disks :mad: oh live and learn :D
 
I use ZoomPlayer 3.0 to play my media files and they play great on my P3 450.
 
it happens to me when i try to watch DVDs but i m guessing it MIGHT be the ram but i m not sure...still trying to figure it out though so if anyone knows, please say sumthing
