long loading time while using wmp vista

When I play songs or videos on wmp it says "media changing" at the lower left
corner, and it would take from 10-30 seconds to play the item. I'm not sure
what went wrong as it loads and plays perfectly fine on my sister's computer.
Could reinstalling wmp solve the problem?

Re: long loading time while using wmp vista


It happens for both songs and videos? That implies that it's happening with
just songs, which implies it's likely not video-related.

What sound card are you using? Is there a driver update available?

I have the same problem. It just started doing this after I did a sync with
a Zen MP3 player. Have you found a solution?

I have the same problem. it just started doing this after I did a sync with
a Zen MP3 player. Before that, no problem. Be sure to post the solution if
you find one and I will do the same.
