4.04 and videos

[bob schroyer]

When I play videos thru 4.04 my CPU usage goes up to 80 to 90% causing my system to become unstable at times. This apparently is caused by the videos playing in the preview screen. Everything else was working great. I have XP, all updates, and plenty of memory.

I switched back to 4.03 (was working great for me before upgrade) and now videos only using 10 to 15% CPU. (no video in preview screen) System is now stable.

It's a small price to pay (not having videos in preview screen) to have every thing else work right. I hope this helps anyone else that might be having a similar problem>
