Problem - long loading times for media files

[Darcy]

G'day everyone

After having installed Acronis Privacy Expert Suite Build 1461, the following problem occured:

When opening a media file (.wmv, .mpg, .mp3, etc) in Windows Media Player or Real Player, it took about 30 seconds until playback began, regardless of the size of the file, i.e. very small files took 30 seconds to load too.

After completely removing Privacy Expert Suite from my machine, the problem disappeared, and media files are now again opened in less than a second, as it should be.

Anyone else experienced this? If no solution is found, I cannot use PES at all!! Such long loading times for video or audio clips are COMPLETELY unacceptable and impracticable.

Greetings
