Windows Media Center Performance Issue Monday, February 16, 2009 at 3:48 pm Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by wguimb (2 messages posted) Hello, I have a new Dell Inspiron Mini 910 netbook. (see specs below) It came with XP Home Edition. I was able to play AVI (DivX, XVid, MPG, etc) with the built-in WMC just fine. The videos were played over the built-in wireless connection from a file server I have set up (also XP). I wiped out the XP installation on the Mini and installed a clean copy of Windows 7 beta x86 on it. All drivers are installed with no issues. I can play the same videos from the file server using VLC player with no problem. However, if I try to play them using WMC included in Win7, the video skips and stutters. Is there a way to specify more buffers or other performance enhancements in WMC? I am very familiar with editing the registry if that is the best way but I don't know what to change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
