    I want to turn this service off because whenever its on it laggs my computer out so bad I can't do anything. I've done all that I can think of to turn it off yet it still runs and I'm getting really frustrated with it. I'm willing to use Teamviewer so someone else can try to fix it since I'm stumped and too irritated to try anything else. I have Windows 7 Home Premium OP. I'm a gamer and I play MMOs so when this service turns on the game freezes and I can't do anything at all. So I wait for it to load again but by that time I've already been disconnected by the game which means I have to wait till my account loggs out so I can get back onto the game. I really need to fix this issue quickly so I can play the games in peace. Please assist me with this problem.

    Try opening up the Media Player > Click on Library > Media Sharing > Uncheck the boxes for the options > Ok > Make sure you hit Yes to the dialog box

    I've now figured out that it is the cause of my unstable network. I already knew it took 25 CPU and 2 million bytes of memory when it gets to its highest point. The site didn't help much so I'm hoping someone here can still help me with this issue before I rage on my computer. The instructions from that site didn't help because the paths were not like the paths on my computer and I can't find the goals to try them. My friend is studying networking but she can't seem to figure it out...
