I'm complaining about it (mfpmp.exe) again. It's eating 60MB of RAM and 11%
of my CPU! That's terrible. How much resources and CPU is mfpmp.exe eating
for you guys? Why is mfpmp.exe necessary, anyway? I mean, really, what
does it do and what good is it? I don't see mfpmp.exe when running WMP11 on
XP, but I do in Vista. Anyone know? Thanks.

mfpmp.exe is a "Media Foundation Protected Pipeline EXE". I guess it's DRM
module protecting media paths from being hijacked by programs that can try
to work around DRM media protection.
 
simply do not use Windows Media Player but any other program, like Winamp or
the Like and set this alternate program as the default player and your
Problem stops forever.

On my older ThinkPad T23 (16MB DirectX8 Card / Vista-Basic-Mode) the WMP11
even dares to tell me he cannot play DVDs - Every other Player does play
them perfectly smooth!

So forget this messy program - it's all about DRM-shit.

On my XP Partition on the Notebook I reverted WMP11 back to WMP10, which
runs well ( and plays DVDs, too. )

Sad, this Thinkpad is full Vista-capable, just no Aero - I can live with
that, but that such simple functions like DVD playback now require a
Aero-compatible card is just silly and one reason for me not to buy the
Update to Vista-Business, but stick with XP Professional on it.

Vista is just MS going through its DRM phase. Hopefully they'll get over
it soon.

I pray that Vista will be a major sales flop, that SPP shuts down legit
Vistas, that People will see their good Computers behaving slow as hell and
what else it needs to awake the customers.
 
To answer one of your questions, mfpmp.exe uses about 5MB RAM and hovers
between 0 and 2% CPU usage on my machine. Vista RC 2 x64 5744
 
What CPU are you using? I'm using an AMD Sempron 64 2800+ OC'd @ 1.8GHz
with 1.5GB of RAM on the 32-bit version of Vista build 5744.
 
I have dual Xeons 3.2 with 6GB of RAM (Dell Precision 670).

Not sure which account I'm on right now but this is HDFatBoy2003.
 
No wonder why it's only eating 2% CPU... lol. You must do a lot with your
computer to have 6GB of RAM.

Hi had a simular issue.

Hope this might help.

I think the person who started the thread THREE YEARS AGO has already
found the solution to his problem

We have 2 customers with the same issue. If they found a solution 3
years ago where is it? I cant find a forum that gives me the solution.

What is the point of this thread if you cant give me a solution after 3
years!

That pitiful "forum" you are using scarfs (and forever keeps) Usenet
messages from Microsoft servers.

It is a Usenet gateway and a poor choice.

You would do yourself a favor by using a newsreader (Windows Mail, or
Windows Live Mail come preset for these groups and are FREE) to find
solutions to your problems.
