pangoomis Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) On my ThinkPad T40 98SE machine (which is beautiful, by the way), whenever I open WMP9 (even without any file to play), the System/GDI resources drop significantly. The worst part is when you try to choose/select a skin, the resources drop to below 20%. I've tried 98MP10, but it only got slightly worse, now it drops to 0%. Any tips for that? No other app does that. I want to enjoy my Toothy skin without any problems. EDIT: Installing KernelEx and Revolutions Pack 9 did help somewhat, but depending on the skin, it can drop to 70% (Toothy) or to 35% (Compact/WMP11 skin). Maybe obtaining rpXbeta1.zip would help, I can't find it anywhere. Is it even necessary when you have the latest version of Revolutions Pack? EDIT2: I've been reading about the whole GDI thing in 98SE, the best bet is to simply install latest Revolutions Pack and be done with it? And just to live with 70% as there is no better option? Anything changed since Tihiy left 98SE scene? Edited September 21, 2017 by MrMateczko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Better try a 9x-compatible version of GOM Player with the '11 Inspirat' skin (similar to WMP11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangoomis Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) That's a workaround, not a solution, if I didn't want to use WMP9, I would not use it And besides, is there a Toothy skin for GOM Player? EDIT: Besides, with RP9 this problem has been fixed more or less. I still wonder why certain WMP9 skins eat more resources.
