Thanks for the update Laz777. At least we know now it's not a WU issue.
Good luck in finding out the cure for the problem with the MP3s.

|I believe I've found the source of the problem, and to me it's a one that I
| wouldn't have thought to begin with.
| I said in my original post that I had winamp and solitaire open and my
| computer was real slow. I didn't say that I was playing an mp3.
| I don't have many mp3's, what music there is on my harddrive is rips I've
| done myself and encoded with FLAC, a lossless audio codec.
| I have a few hard-to-find mp3's on my system, and was having the slowdown
| only when I played them.
| I discovered the root of my problem when I played a FLAC file and my system
| ran as good as always.
| Now I've got to figure out why mp3's do this. I could just convert the few I
| have over, but I'd rather get to the reason the problem occurs and I'll have
| to find another forum to discuss it.
| Thanks again for your response TaurAurian.
