Hi Jeff, I think I will also give it a shot as well... I stopped using WMP 11 a bit ago, because it's such a memory hog and movies would sputter during playback. I then began using HP DVD and the problem was gone. I only have a gig of memory and need to eventually add another 3 GB. I still use WMP to rip and burn CD's though.
