High Process Level

Hi,

I've been having a problem lately with WMP. I'm running WMP11 on Windows XP
SP2. Everytime I connect to the internet, after about 20 minutes of WMP
running, my computer will start to lag. I checked the task manager, and WMP
is running at 80-90%. This has been happening everytime I connect to the
internet, I've tried it offline too, and nothing happens. I'm not using WMP
for anything except for playing MP3s. Is there an update I need to download
to fix this, or is something wrong with my settings (I haven't touched them
since I installed it.) I've also tried re-installing it, and it still does
the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Mike

If you are connected and choose WMP's File:Work Offline option, does it
still use lots of CPU?

If you go to WMP's Tools:Apply Media Information option and that run to
completion, does this problem go away afterwards?
