hi,
i have a P4 2.4ghz compaq machine with 1.25gb RAM, 160 GB HD with vista ultimate/WIN XP home SP2 dual boot. DVD playback is choppy in WMP11 on vista but no problems in XP(WMP 11).please help.
thanx,

Hello, if you've got some other software that can play your dvds, like PowerDVD, try that first while running Vista. If your still getting the same problem replace your DVD ROM, borrow one from a friend and see if there's any difference.

If everything works OK with different software then check your codecs/drivers or any other add-ons etc. that you're using on Vista. Try removing/uninstalling anything that you don't need to run WMP11 or updating/rolling back any relative drivers.

How did you install WMP11? Was it through XP, Vista or did you install your operating system with it already on?

WMP 11 installed thro download from microsoft website on XP.but vista WMP11 was preinstalled with OS.incidentally the media center in vista does not detect my TV tuner card(Asus7134). any thoughts on that too???
thanx,

Are you having the same problem with WMP11 on both operating systems?
Check your TV tuners manufacturer website on any information regarding drivers and/or compatibility issues with Vista and Media Center.

I'll have a look around myself and see if I can find anything for you.
