[QUOTE="Johan, post: 406257, member: 19865"] Ok I have made some more testings and without any luck at all. I still get the 100% cpu peaks every now and then when playing any kind of videoformat. I am using MP 1.0 and I also reverted back to my old RC2 installation and still had the same problem. I doubt that the upgrade to 1.0.1 will help but that is what I will try next. Is there any way that I can narrow down that the heck it is that are causing the peaks? I mean it is only present when playing videos in MP. I don't have a clue how to know which driver could be the broken one (if that is the case). I really really don't want to make a complete re-install of Windows XP (or Vista??) but if that is the only option that helps I guess that is what I have to do. If I go for reinstall maybe I should choose Vista since this OS has better(?!?) support for video and DXVA. The problem is if my old CPU can handle Vista without slowing down so much so that it is not useful to run MP. Any suggestion to guides how to install a stripped Vista on an old systems would be very good helpful if the recommendations are to go for Vista. [/QUOTE]
