MP uses all my comp resources....?

Zarcoma · 2006-01-12, 11:51

Let me explain. My computer has a 512 ram with an AMD 1600 XP nothing to brag about, but it should be enough to run MP. I have no problems with MP when I run it with my computer screen, it runs smoothly. The problem comes when i connect the computer to the tv and I visualize MP on my tv. ALL of a sudden it starts 2 use 70% of my cpu and you can figure out how smoothly that goes. I tried to shut almost everything down but that didnt work. I have to say that I have not encountered that type of problem when I run other programs on my tv. Is there an easy solution to this? :roll:

What video card are you running and does it meet the requirements?

I have an ATI RADEON 9250 128 MB...I had the same problem with my GeForce 5200 128 MB

The tv is set as the Primary Monitor right?

You got me, but why should this cuz a problem compared to when I use WMP or something else?

Media portal is a directx application (which other apps arent), so it renders its gui just like a game does. The way its setup, directx acceleration will only work on the primary monitor.
