Jerky Playback with WMP9 after GForceGold 268 upgrade to 270

Post by Michael »

I was running GForceGold 268 without problem with WMP9 and i-Tunes
for Windows on my WinXP SP1 PC.
After upgrading to version 270, I have jerky playback with WMP9. It doesn't break down or anything, even shows album covers and all - but, as I said, jerky visualization! :(
I-Tunes is running great. :)
What could be the problem? :?

For everybody experiencing the same problem, I can answer my own question now: :lol: I found out, that actually Norton Anti Virus is causing the jerky playback in Windows Media Player (as well as in the standalone version, I discovered since)! I-Tunes is, as I said not affected! As soon as Norton Anti Virus Autoprotect is been disabled, visualisation switches to smooth playback! Very strange! :roll: ???
Maybe someone can explain this to me!?! :?:

I just wanted to express a deep personal thanks for taking the time to return to the forum to post this *huge* peice of information. I have been trying like hell in the last few monthsto track this issue down without success (i was never able to repro it on my machine--and now I know why!). So--again--thank you for giving back to the G-Force community (not to mention me!).

Thanks!

Andy
