okay, my computer has been doing this ever since I got it, and its starting to get very annoying. I'll have MWP open in the toolbar, and its playing music while im searching the web, using msn, etc.
However, when I do the smallest little thing (open a new tab in FF, refresh a page, and sometimes for no apparent reason) my music will start skipping really bad for a few seconds, and then it gets better. I look at my performance, and there is usually a slight spike, but its nothing drastic or under full load, ram is usually around 30-40% used.
Whats going on? Is there anything I can do? WMP/audio card drivers are both up-to-date. I should also mention, that it seems to happen only in WMP (i occasionally use VLC). What can I do to make WMP not do this?
*edit* I would like suggestions for fixes for this first, but if I can't get it fixed, alternate media players would be great.
