SYMPTOMS
On computers that have the Transmeta Crusoe CPU, users may experience poor video playback performance in Windows Media Player versions 7.0 and 7.1, Windows Media Player for Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Movie Maker 1.0.



CAUSE
Because Microsoft digital media applications, such as Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker, cannot identify that the Crusoe CPU can run optimized decoding code paths, users may see some degradation in video playback performance compared to running the video on a system that has a different CPU.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
