[QUOTE="Crackofdawn, post: 864313, member: 98108"] Just to follow up - I checked my HTPC - there is [B]no[/B] antivirus installed at all nor is microsoft security essentials installed. In fact, I haven't changed anything on the OS in months (since awhile before upgrading to MP 1.2 and Online videos 1.0+. The only thing that changed on my HTPC at all from the time when I did not have this issue to the time I started having it, is upgrading to MP 1.2 and OV 1.0 (and now MP 1.2.3 and OV 1.2.0).

I don't see how this could be related to another process interfering. Also it does not look like it is CPU related at all - like I said during the period of time where the 'wait' is happening the hard disk drive is going [B]insane.
