Slow to initialize Media Player

Home Premium SP2.
This problem has been for a long time. Too lazy to try to find a solution.
If I start Windows Media Player, first time of the day, it takes unreasonale time to initiallize.
Once it started, I could shut down, rebooted, and it would play quickly.
Question: in any case to fix long initialization?

I had done sfc and chkdsk only a week ago.

Hi t-4-2,

Look for third-party codecs installed and anything in playlists, especially things that a) doesn't exist more or b) are on the disks in network, as the likely sources of this delay. Because he was"a while", it can be difficult to isolate the cause, you'll have to think about what has been installed before the slow down.

Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

Could Adobe Flash Player be the cause?
Yesterday after trying to find out why it was so hard to do computer back mode 'sleep', Solution Center sent a report about Adobe Flash Player not installed correctly. It gave me a link to uninstall and then reinstall.
Result: Wake the system from standby mode today, seems to have worked quickly.
After reading you reply, I played music in my Media Player, he turned and player quickly.

Maybe a one coincide, but it works correctly now. I wonder about tomorrow.
Thank you.

    You can get on a conversion of 70% in reading a file in Windows Media Player using something like Dragon Naturally Speaking to convert. If you set the playback speed to slow in Windows Media Player to play > play speed, you will get a better result. The best option is to download the file to an audio transcription service, but which generally costs 0, 50-1, 00 per minute of audio.

  • Media Player CD rips slow

    Media Player rip CDs of audiobooks very slowly; almost slowly as listening to the tracks... I have XP.

    Hi TedMcNamara,

    · What version of windows media player installed on the computer?

    · What is the service pack installed on the computer?

    1. your computer may take longer to rip a CD, if it has a slower processor, or not enough RAM.

    2. the amount of free space and hard disk fragmentation can affect the speed of the extraction process

    3. the speed and interface of the hard disk drive that you are ripping titles to can affect the speed of tear. For example, a hard disk drive 5400 RPM will probably write data slower than a 7200 RPM drive. Similarly, ripping the songs on an external hard drive connected to your computer via USB 1.1, on a drive of flash memory, or a network drive may be slower sawing through the songs directly to the hard disk drive internal to your computer.

    4. the speed and interface of the CD player that you are ripping titles to can affect the speed of tear. Generally, readers at speeds above RIP songs from a CD faster than low-speed discs. Similarly, Windows Media Player will probably better run when you use a CD player connected via IEEE 1394 or USB 2.0 when using a drive connected via USB 1.1.

    To select a slower burn speed:

    a. in Windows Media Player, click Options in the Tools menu.

    b. click the devices tab, and then double-click the name of the CD - R or CD - RW drive that you use.

    c. click on the recording tab and select a write speed that is slower or is the slowest available speed.

    d. click OK and then click OK.

  • Why Windows Media Player is a little slower at the opening of the media?

    Hi all

    Today, Windows Media Player has been a bit slower... Why? I do not know.. I scanned for malware, spyware and viruses and there is nothing... I discovered that this isn't my PC, or my windows... It seems that it is in all Versions of it... I tried other players, they were all very good... Now what am I supposed to do?

    Description of the LAG: it takes longer to open/load a simple media... Either when I opened my playlist, get to the next/previous track, and at the opening of any media what to choose in the list...

    Any help is appreciated...

  • Is it possible to launch any video players (not just Media Player) to play the videos after the market slow as screensaver?

    Hello.

    I wish that my old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 to launch a video player (not only Windows Media Player; it could be everything I said to use) and play various video files (for most of the formats MPEG/MPG-2 and TS) after a few hours to be slowed down as it does for the screen savers. Is there a way? If it requires a third party, then it should be free and light.

    Thank you in advance. :)

    Hi Ant man.

    Unfortunately, Windows XP doesn't have this feature to play a video as screensaver. However, this feature is present in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  • Update of Windows Media Player stopped because it made my computer slow and now can't copy a CD

    The constant update of the Player Windows Media caused me go into options and uncheck the library update that didn't work so then I went to the library to manage and delete music files, photos, videos etc, which made the stop of Windows Media updated, but now I cannot rip CDs and an error message saying "Windows Media player cannot extract one or more tracks. the CD"that has occurred only since I took these actions.  I tried to back up my library, but the program I Include leaves nothing or I don't need to put in place the correct files.  Help, please!

    Hi Imogen...

    Updates to the WMP library can slow performance, but if you want to extract the music you need to have a default save location which will usually be the music folder.

    Under 'Organize' - managing libraries - music - click on the 'Add' button and restore the 'music' (or my music) by default and then click OK. The library must rebuild. Come back if you're still stuck, however. -Cheers, Ric.

  • Windows Media Player very slow on network

    After having upgraded to Windows 7, I noticed that Windows Media Player 11 is painfully and stupidly slow, during the handling of the media streamed on my network.

    A playlist with just 100 items may take minutes to load and actually it scrolling... Well, glacial activity seems fast in comparison. I actually cannot scrolling playlists from a PC on a network - it's this slow. It is enough to click the scroll bar and hope I hit to the right place!

    Once that she's going to get, that's fine. The media broadcasts nicely and theres no lag. However, for the first two minutes, I can't jump on video, or pass them / prev item...

    Is this a known issue? Perhaps with knowledge to solve?

    Boring technical details:

    PC running Win 7, server with media running Windows Vista SP2.
    While the server is not exactly modern, do not this slow - it responds very well when you use desktop to distance or standard network of navigation, for example.

    Playlists are created by mounting the disc of servers and just drag media in the playlist. Nothing complicated.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Kind regards
