CinePlayer Hangs

[gordonwd]

Not much more to say about it -- CinePlayer hangs when it starts up, and I even have trouble getting Task Manager to come up so I can abort it. Fortunately, I have a couple of other DVD-playing apps on my PC that work OK (Media Player, Intervideo), so it's not a general problem with my PC.

 

I don't really care to troubleshoot this and will probably just remove this component, but thought I'd post a message in case anyone else has run into it. FWIW, this all ran OK under EZMC 7.5.

The easiest way is to go to Start,Run and type in msconfig.When the box comes up go to the Startup tab.Look down the list and uncheck RoxWatchTray9.Hit ok and you'll need to reboot.When the box pops up on reboot just tell it not to show again.That will stop it from running on startup.

 

You can also open it from the Start menu and tell it to stop watching folders.You can also right click on the tray icon and do the same thing.

When you say you have trouble getting Task Manager to come up do you mean it takes a long time and then finally comes up?If so,the next time you try it go to the Processes tab and see what process if using a big chunk of the CPU percentage.

Are you running Media Manager?If so disable it then try CinePlayer.The reason I'm asking is that for some reason when you open CinePlayer,Media Manager may be doing a scan and greatly slowing down your machine.If so then when you look at the Process tab you'll see Media Manager using all the cpu cycles.

Check it out and let us know.

I think that's what was happening. When Task Mgr finally came up, I could see that a process (think it was Media Mgr) was taking 99% of the CPU, so I aborted it. How does one "disable" Media Manager?
