[QUOTE="gperkinson, post: 593942, member: 83961"] Hi, I was hoping to hear from other members about their experiance with Vista Superfetch / Prefetch and Media Portal. More specifically Vista 32 bit with SP2 and Media Portal V 1.0.2.0. With Superfetch on, my machine seems to go into periodic disk thrashing which affects the playback on Media Portal in either Live TV or Recorded TV, especially if multiple things are going on e.g. timeshifting live TV and perhaps recording another 2 programs. I see Superfetch is linked somehow to Prefetch, but I have done no research on this. I also see you can change registry settings for Superfetch to change it's behaviour. I also have no idea of the downstream effects of disabling Superfetch, however I have done this and my disk activity has greatly reduced - however, when opening a Media Portal recording for the first time, it went jerky for the first 3 minutes where I then searched back 2 minutes and it came right - during this time I was copying files from my hard disk to a USB stick, so that definately had an impact.
