It can barely play WMP? So it can run the OS, but not software? How useful is that?

Let me clarify, it can run WMP (noting i have very high quality music files, up to 4086kbps) if i am running too many other things in the background it will also skip though. It can run almost anything, just not too much at the same time. It was the same issue on XP, although i think it took slightly more to do it.
