Need help with video problem
I just formatted my HD, reinstalled WinXP yesterday. I have only installed SimCity 4, DivX, Tv-Tool 5.5 and Winamp
The problem is:
Whenever I watch movies on the computer, it lags. There's no problems with the sound, but it has a low framerate...
I've got a:
P4 2.4 GHz
1 gb DDR PC2700 ram
lots of HD space... and fast HDs
The problem is also when viewing movie-files from cd, and my cd-drives are fast also...
Does anyone have any clue what's wrong here? It's really annoying

Re: Need help with video problem
Hmm....I may know what the problem is.
Simply send me the computer and I'll fix it for you.

Something may be chewing up your RAM.

I have tried:
BS-viewer
Windows Media Player (8 and 9)
Power DVD 4
DivX player (2.0 and 2.1)
This problem was the reason why I reinstalled Windows... I don't have all those players installed now though...

I just did a little test:
Having WinAmp open and a movie open, I still have about 800 mb ram free...

I haven't patched anything... it can't be msblaster, since I haven't downloaded anything new since the worm got out, and I haven't been to any new places... and I have had the same problem even before the worm got out...

What DVD app do you use? I rented one the other day and it came with this shitty player- it lagged the movie but you couldn't play it any other way
