Hi all, I've been having some trouble lately with certain applications that I now realize are all 32-bit applications. When launching the applications (iTunes, windows media player and games) it can takes from 2 to 4 minutes to load and depending on what I do in then application (i.e. in iTunes, I can click on preferences or the option to burn playlist to CD) the application hangs again and comes back after 2 to 4 minutes. With media player - if I leave it up and click on another AVI then it works as expected but if I close media player and then open another AVI/Mpeg then the app will hang for 2 to 4 minutes.
Any of the windows applications come up fine and office applications (Office 2013 64 bit) so I have narrowed it down to 32 bit apps. The task manager will list the application as not responding but it does come up eventually.
I had everyone working fine before and I did do a complete reinstall (installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit) and then immediately did the Windows 8 upgrade (with Media center). It was fine for a few weeks and then the issue started to happen which I noticed with Media Player and then iTunes.
So there was no change with safe mode and I did do a SFC /scannow which came out fine.
I have a home grown PC:
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (I know, its almost 3 yrs old), Core i7 3.0 Ghz cpu, Samsung SSD 840 Pro as the OS drive, Gigabyte GX 560 video card, Ceton Xfinity tuner card, an Avermedia OTA tuner card and multiple hard drives.
I'm running Windows 8 Pro with media center.
I've always been a follower of the Windows 7 forums and now the Windows 8 forums and seemed to manage to find my own issue and resolutions but I'm stuck on this one so I figured I would post and see if you fine folks can help me out
Thanks
