We've gotten some questions why our player suddenly cannot play videos smoothly anymore, when running on Windows XP.
It certainly can, but your Windows XP computer may be affected by a bug in Windows Update (!), that makes the CPU usage run at 100% and therefore affects the video playback aswell.
On a single-core computer it will try to use all CPU, on a dualcore CPU it will only use one core, leaving 50% capacity left for video playback.
