    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

              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...

                You have patched XP, right? msblaster slowed everything down for me.

                  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...

                        For DVDs I usually use PowerDVD, but it's not only DVD's... it's all movies...
