Vista and media player 11 - again

[matslingblad]

I have a problem with my new PC (Dell Dimension 690) with a Core 2
Quad E5335 processor, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD

When I use Media Player 11 sometimes the sound stops for 0.5-3 sec.
This seems to be due to searchindexer.exe writing to the HDD. If I
disable Windows Search I don't have the problems. But I don't really
like doing so.

Anyone else experienced the same problem, or could something be wrong
with my machine?



I posted a week ago, I received one response, but that does not not
really address my issue

Actually this appears to be a Windows Search problem, do you use it or
do you dislike disabling it for some valid reason other than the fact
that it "Sounds like a good idea".

They seem to have got something drastically wrong with the "Background"
concept. I ended up having to go to drive properties and disabling
"Index this drive for faster searching" because 2 machines here simply
ground to a halt with "Busy" icons for minutes at a time, and these were
not slow machines otherwise.

Besides which why are Microsoft so obsessed with creating complete
catalogs of user's machines?

Well I use it to search emails, etc. It also seems that Google Search
doesn't work without the Windows Search enabled.
